Fender American Pure Vintage Bass String Guide Nickel

Restore Proper String Break Angle and Reduce Unwanted Overtones

The Fender American Pure Vintage Bass String Guide is a single-disc string tree designed for compatible Jazz Bass and Precision Bass guitars. By increasing downward pressure on the strings behind the nut, it helps maintain a more consistent break angle, reducing tuning issues and sympathetic overtones that can occur when string tension across the nut is too low.

The guide is made from plated steel and finished in Nickel, giving it the period-correct appearance associated with Fender’s Pure Vintage hardware. Its simple single-disc design makes it suitable for restoration work as well as replacement or modification on compatible instruments.

A slotted mounting screw is included, and the guide is used on both vintage and modern Jazz Bass and Precision Bass models. It is designed to fit most vintage and modern bass guitars.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this bass string guide is a useful replacement for players restoring a Fender-style bass or addressing unwanted overtones and tuning instability caused by insufficient string pressure behind the nut.
