Fender American Vintage-Style Stratocaster String Guides Gold (Set of 2)

Improve String Break Angle on Compatible Stratocaster Headstocks

The Fender American Vintage-Style Stratocaster String Guides set includes two Gold string guides, also known as string trees, for compatible Stratocaster models. Fender string guides help minimise tuning problems and sympathetic overtones caused by low string tension, giving the strings a firmer path from the nut to the tuning machines.

That added downward pressure is useful on the higher strings, where low headstock tension can cause sitar-like ringing, unstable open notes or a string that does not seat cleanly in the nut slot. The Gold finish suits Stratocaster builds and repairs with matching gold hardware.

Mounting hardware is included. This set is used on American Vintage, Road Worn, Pawn Shop and Classic Series Stratocaster models.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this set suits Stratocaster players and guitar techs replacing missing or mismatched string trees, especially when the goal is to reduce unwanted overtones and keep the strings seated more securely behind the nut.
