Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these roller string retainers compatible with all electric guitars?
A: These roller string retainers are designed to be compatible with most standard electric guitars and bass guitars. The base dimensions (11 × 6 mm) and standard mounting screw size make them a great drop-in replacement for most headstock configurations. We recommend measuring your existing retainer before ordering to confirm fitment.
Q: What is the advantage of roller string retainers over standard flat string trees?
A: Unlike flat string trees, roller string retainers feature a small spinning cylinder that allows the string to glide smoothly instead of dragging across a fixed surface. This reduces friction at the headstock, which helps maintain tuning stability — especially after using a whammy bar — and minimizes wear on your strings for longer string life.
Q: Do these come with the screws needed for installation?
A: Yes! Each set includes 2 mounting screws so you have everything you need for a straightforward installation right out of the box. No additional hardware is required.
