Fender American Standard String Guides Gold (Set of 2)

Gold String Guides for Cleaner Fender Headstock Tension

The Fender American Standard String Guides set includes two Gold string guides with mounting hardware for compatible Fender guitar models. String guides, also known as string trees, help minimise tuning problems and sympathetic overtones caused by low string tension behind the nut.

By adding downward pressure over the strings, these guides help the strings sit more securely in the nut slots. That can reduce unwanted ringing behind the nut, improve open-string stability and help the high strings behave more consistently during tuning and regular playing.

The Gold finish suits Fender instruments with matching gold hardware or builds where the headstock parts need to match the rest of the guitar. This set is used on American, American Standard, American Series, American Special and American Deluxe USA models.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this set suits players and guitar techs replacing missing, worn or mismatched string guides on compatible Fender guitars, especially when the high strings need better break angle and cleaner seating behind the nut.
