TUSQ XL by Graph Tech PT-7004-00 String Tree for Fender/Strat Guitar, Black

How can you not love these things. If you are into hot rodding your guitars, or like me, are on a budget and have to buy some lower end stuff and used stuff. I started out buying a really cheap guitar to haul to work to practice on my breaks and lunches etc. Then I set it up and did some fret work on it etc. and fell in love with it. I wasn't crazy about the cheap plastid nut, so i put a tusq xl nut in it and they threw the string trees at me as an add on. I said ok and added them to the cart. I know that they have made an awesome improvement as i put them on before changing the nut. They seriously richened up the tone and sustain for miles. After installing the XL nut (Make sure you read the descriptions on your string trees and nuts as the XL's are self-lubricating for life, the non Xl's are not). I find the non XL's come up a lot more frequently when searching for a good deal and they are ok, just not self lubricating. To finish it off, it I lube up the nuts and trees with some Super Vee Super Glide (look it up and buy some!!!!) What started out as a $65 guitar is now one of my favorites to play, and all the other ones now have tusq XL string trees,....the Tele, The Strat, The Lead I, etc. etc.

I replaced the stock string trees on my fender Strat with these because I saw a review on them on YouTube. They work great, they look good and I’m satisfied.

I have never been a big fan of string trees, but after installing these I can say I kind them much less when they don't cause a "friction point" any longer. Strings seem to slide through these with no issue and my strings return to pitch better after tremolo use.

I put locking tuners on my strat to stabilize the trem a bit but was still having some tuning problems. Bought some nut lubricant and that helped. Bought this product and the problems basically went away. I mean, its a strat, so it'll still slip a bit if I go absolutely nuts but I do highly recommend this product.

One of the advantages of replacing the nut on your guitar with a Graph Tech TUSQ nut is that it is self-lubricating and helps with the tuning stability of your guitar. The other place your strings encounter friction is on the string trees. Using the TUSQ material on the string trees is awesome and you should do this for additional tuning stability and tone enhancement.

The mounting screws are a little bit large, but I was able to get them in regardless.

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.

Love them, but seems way to expensive...

Very happy with all aspects of purchase

Produto de excelente qualidade!

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.

Necesitaba estas para poder usar una guitarra Stratocaster. Con esto y clavijas locking me solucionó problemas de afinacion.
