American Standard String Guides (Gold)

Not much to say about these. I removed an identical set of silver guides to install these. I prefer these to the vintage style (bent metal, can catch during heavy trem use). These are genuine fender parts.

Was scary to add little holes into the head of a fender but if I didnt have to then it would be easy to install. I didnt think of grinding off the little peg until after. Went in good though and works good.

These are great fender American standard string trees. Just what I needed.

I ordered these string guides to replace the cheap stamped out ones that came on my Deluxe Players Stratocaster. The old ones seemed to be binding the strings, but these are smooth as silk! Installation was pretty simple. These have a "pin" on the under side, which requires that you drill a small hole to accept it. If you start the screw, hold the guide straight, and then tighten the screw slightly it will make a mark where you have to drill. Back the screw off to turn the guide out of the way, drill the hole and put the guide back straight so that the pin goes into the hole, tighten the screw and that's it! Just remove the old one first and you can use the same screw hole. Amazon got this part to me a day earlier than expected. Used them a few times now with no complaints. Thanks Amazon!!

i liked the packaging, the delivery time and the quality of the device. nice colour.. it fitted my bass guitar, even it is designed for a regular guitar. happy with my purchase.

I like these, actually better than the silver Fender ones I just got in for another guitar. On those Fender ones, two strings share the same roller "axle", which seems counterproductive to me. These just provide a nice smooth surface to create a little tension on the headstock side of the neck nut. Be careful to make sure you put them on dead-aligned the first time, though, because they have a little nub on the bottom that will press into the wood of your headstock when you screw them in, to try to keep them from rotating. It's actually a great feature that the silver Fenders don't have. But, because they don't normally have them, I didn't notice them and screwed them down pretty firm, and was going to bring strings to tension and accurately position them before giving the final snug down... well, since the nub had already penetrated the wood, that didn't work. I had to file it off because otherwise it kept just trying to guide back into the first indention it made.

Need a drill for the little peg holes, make sure you line them up straight. Still, they don't look bad crooked... like mine :)

Beautiful! Great replacements for my Squier upgrade build.
