Graphtech PT-7004-00 Black Tusq Xl Nut Sleek String Trees

Bought these to replace the cheap and nasty metal trees on my Fender Jaguar. Fit straight on with no modification, and provide much smoother bends and no binding of the strings. A cheap and very worthwhile upgrade to any guitar with a flat neck.

Love these things, they go on all my guitars. Completely eliminates any binding issues you might get with traditional trees, and superior to roller designs in my opinion also.

Balances perfectly the tension between the tuning post and the nut without undue friction and keeps any tuning issues down to a minimum. Bends and dives return smoothly to their original position. Definitely an improvement on the old squier trees that I had and that actually cut the string at the tuner side a couple of times when giving the Wang bar a thrashing. Why pay top bucks for rollers when these puppies work so well?

Got these from amazon for a great price for my Squier Affinity tele and they are so much better than the stock string trees. If you can get them at a good price I highly recommend! I used the old black screws and they look great all in black.

Made of self lubricating tusq material so won’t grab the string or abrade it like some metal string trees might. String height above head surface after fitting is about 5mm, about level with the hole in the tuner post so ideal for my guitar. Height can be reduced if desired as it’s a workable material. Screws supplied look good quality, I used a 5/32” twist drill bit to make a pilot hole into hard maple guitar head, essential to avoid risk of breaking the screw. Did the job, string leaves the nut at about 10 degree angle now. No catching in use. Worth the money? Well it does the job and for the reassurance alone that the screws are good quality it’s worth it as several reviews of cheaper brands and designs say the screw snapped! Then your in a whole world of pain if it shears off flush with the head. That maybe when people don’t drill the essential pilot hole so don’t skip this step if making a new screw hole. They do come as a pair for your money and from a reputable company, made in Canada so I think I made the right choice overall. The finish I got is the black one.

I don't understand why manufacturers still insist on using bent metal string trees on anything other than the very cheapest guitars. Installation is really straightforward - I used the screws which came with my old string trees, so as not to widen the hole in the headstock. The only slightly faffy part of installing them, is making sure they're straight up, so you don't inadvertently increase the friction on the string! The whole process took me under 10 minutes, and I recommend wholeheartedly - especially if you have a trem.

They go very well with black tuners exactly what I wanted, but over priced but Canadians charge more than they deserve

These work like a charm honestly

Very happy with all aspects of purchase

Produto de excelente qualidade!

Fantastic replacement for metal string tree. Also, a great addition if you don't have one. Graphtech is an excellent company and seller ships fast. Very easy to install.

Perfecto

Ich habe die String Trees als Ersatz für das gebogene Blech an einer Squier Strat gekauft. Die Montage ist einfach, falsch machen kann man eigentlich auch nichts. Nach dem Tausch war die Strat stimmstabiler - aber das lag eventuell auch an den gleichzeitig getauschten Saiten? In jedem Fall sind keine Saiten mehr seit der Montage an den String Trees gerissen (was zuvor gelegentlich der Fall war). Kleine Änderung für kleines Geld mit großer Wirkung. Zumindest bei Squier. Aufgrund meiner Erfahrungen hat ein Freund bei seiner Harley Benton die String Trees auch verbaut. Er hat die gleichen Erfahrungen wie ich gemacht. Also 2x Kaufempfehlung.
