Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does a string guide do?
It holds the higher strings down behind the nut so they keep enough downward angle to sit firmly in the nut slots.
02How many are in the pack?
Two.
03Do I need this if I have a locking nut?
Usually not. Locking nut systems clamp the strings directly, so a retainer behind the nut is generally unnecessary.
04Is installation difficult?
It mounts with a small screw into the headstock. Straightforward if the existing hole lines up, otherwise a tech should drill it.
