We have launched a special feature page dedicated to string retainers, essential components for creating the proper break angle over a guitar's nut!

From classic butterfly and button styles to roller types that reduce string friction and tension bars that hold down multiple strings at once, this guide explains the unique characteristics of each type. We offer an extensive selection of string retainers from leading brands, including FENDER, GOTOH, SCUD, MONTREUX, and GRAPHTECH.

The feature also explains key technical points, such as how the break angle varies depending on retainer height, as well as crucial specifications to check when replacing parts, including screw diameter, screw length, and spacer size. Whether you are looking for a replacement part or planning a modification to improve tuning stability, be sure to check it out!
