Guitar String Retainers, set of 2 - Vintage/Relic Nickel

These metal string trees screw into a Fender or similar peghead to maintain the string angle at the nut. Each holds down two strings.

Same style string retainers that were used on a post '57 Strat®, Tele®, and similar instruments.

Set of 2 includes 2 string retainers with mounting screws, and spacers (short and tall). Use the short spacer for the E and B strings (many early instruments only used one string retainer for the E and B strings).

Pilot holes required: Installing delicate screws such as these into hard maple requires great care and accuracy. We highly recommend using a No. 44 bit for the pilot hole before installing these screws. Lubricate the screw threads with cutting lubricant (also wax or a bar of soap) to reduce friction and help them thread properly.

A better match on vintage guitars: the Relic Nickel plating has an aged look, perfect for repairing old guitars when shiny hardware looks out of place. 

We inspect and shoot each piece so what you see is what we ship to you.
