Fender Ultra String Guides, Stratocaster and Telecaster Guitar Compatible, Electric Guitar Hardware, EZAC Zinc Alloy, Optimize String Tension, Set of 2

I picked these string trees up to replace the cheap roller trees I previously put on my Strat, and I'm thrilled with them! The chrome plating is excellent. They look high quality and have a bit of heft to them for their size. They didn't seem to add any friction to the strings vs the rolling trees, and I've had no tuning issues making the swap. They are also super easy to install, so they are a great upgrade even for beginners. Plus, they'd look equally at home on a vintage style or modern style Strat. If you are looking to upgrade your string trees at all and don't want to go the Graph Tech route, these are a no brainer.

Fender quality.

Put these on Squier Strat rebuild. Easy to install and helps tuning and sound by upgrading from the thin pot metal string trees. Looks good too.

These replaced a set of the crimped sheet metal versions. These are much stronger and their smooth lower slide surface provides much less resistance to string movement that the original set. I'm very pleased with their ease of installation, look and function!

I recently replaced a lot of chrome parts on my strat that had rusted, and I hated the appearance. Not only do these look way better than the 'sheet metal' string tree guides that came on my guitar, but they are super smooth on the underside, and I'm noticing tuning stability is way better.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I didn’t expect something so basic to exceed my expectations so much. If you want to replace a vintage style string tree while maintaining the general look, these beat all of Fender’s other options. They are solid, frictionless, set to a perfect height from the headstock, and super easy to install.

I used these to upgrade the guides on my daughter's Fender and Squier strats. You have to be careful about the string height difference wrt the nut. You may or may not want to use both of these. That said, they look great... much better than the stock ones.

I replaced the stamped steel guide on my Player II Tele, works great, doesn't bind, make sure you use the longer screw that comes with it though.
