Not what I expected

These parts say that they are for an American STANDARD, Special and Deluxe Fender Stratocaster. But these parts are cheap and not of the same quality that real American Standard, etc., made parts are. I honestly think that someone may committing fraud here. If these are genuine Fender Parts then the Fender brand has gone into the crapper and I will not buy anything new from FMIC ever. Buyer beware.Read full review...

Look great on custom Strats

These string trees don't pull down as far as the stock trees, so it's not as sharp an angle off the nut. I put two on my custom built strats because of the pull of the whammy bar. Even put two on the tele for looks, black & chrome. These also make string changes easier than vintage trees. Priced right and good looking.Read full review...

Genuine Fender Parts

These are genuine Fender roller string trees. Smaller and less obtrusive than some of the others on the market. Keep in mind these have a small pin on the base and will need a very small hole drilled to fit flush if you guitar doesn't already have the hole. They look good and do the job well.Read full review...

Upgrade your MIM

In my opinion they look better and function better than the vintage "butterfly" style string tree that comes on most MIM Strats.
FYI******
These have a nub on the back of them to keep them from spinning once mounted. Some people just remove the nub with a dremel...I found it easier to just use a properly sized drill bit, to add a little detent in the headstock for the nub to sit in, and it worked just fine.Read full review...

Good Fender Product

As a guitar technician I only install what the customer wants but there’s no difference between them as long as they hold down the strings and do as they are intended, you can’t go wrong with these, make sure you install them correctly as intended to gain it’s benefits.Read full review...

Great Replacement Part

These are a nice, smoother functioning replacement for the old, butterfly type string trees. I put one on my Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster and the trem moves way smoother with the B and E under this.

Great product

Heart product at a great price. I had to drill out the extra peg hole that keeps them aligned. Not a direct replacement for my Squier Bullet Strat, but I made it work.

Love Them!

They look so much better than the standard "Ram's Horns" string trees that come with most Mexico, China, and Indonesia made Fender & Squire guitars. Plus a smoother point of contact for the strings keeps tuning more stable.Read full review...

Installing

I'm trying to make my strat squire more fender like so make sue your strings are installed befor converting the older type string tree. Make sure it's aligned before making the intention for these tree string guides. Mine was a little off but still works good.Read full review...

Looks great - works even better

I like this style string tree, first off I am drawn to it because of the look, secondly I prefer it's functionality. Could it be better, yeah - if the contact points were actually "rollers" that shifted a tad from side to side - with that said the current configuration is a very well working solution. I seldom play more than 5 notes without bending several steps. My axes stay in tune extremely well with these. I use mostly 11 - 13 gauge string sets, some 10's here and there, but they are mostly on a group of Les Pauls - so these little guys get medium to medium heavy gauge string work outs and I have never has one let me down. Thanks Fender. They should be less expensive than they are.Read full review...
