3-pack Guitar String Retainers - Choose Style and Color

Guitar string retainers such as these are used any time you want to pull the string height down before they cross the nut, to help with break angle and get better string tension. Choose your desired style and finish color from the available options. Refer to the listing photos for an idea of the size of each of the different styles. Note that for the Disk-style, they are a wider and flatter type of string retainer, in the style sometimes seen on Fender(tm) basses. Some builders prefer this lower-profile style. Grooves run under the round part into which the strings seat. The other two styles are higher-profile. Each pack contains 3 complete sets of retainer + hardware.

These are especially good if you are building cigar box guitars without angled headstocks, which often have troubles with string height and break angle. A set of three of these will handle 6 total strings (each retainer handles two strings). Two different size spacer bushings are included so you can customize your string height as needed. Mounting screws are also included.
