Questions & Answers

Will the Precision nut width ( 1 3/4 " ) work with this?

My Fender P 4 string string works great with it.

To fit these screws, what size hole do I need to drill?

You can use a pilot hole that is up to 1/16" in diameter if you use 3/32" screws. Make sure the fit is right before drilling into a headstock with a scrap piece of wood. You will not find instructions in the package.

Can anyone tell me if it works on the Squier VMJ Can you tell me if there is a problem fitting?

My t-shirt fits very well on my Squier neck. I'm not sure which model it is, however.

HIPHOP SHOOT BASSS 3 This string retainer works very well
5/5

During a build with a G&L string retainer, I used this Hipshot string retainer The neck is long. I like how it fits in with the aesthetic of the site. We received our order quickly and at no charge. The string retainer was easy to install, came with the mounting screws, and I will use it This is a 5 star rating.

This product does what it says and looks great too
5/5

It looks great and was an easy install (5/64 drill bit works well). I was able to cover the hole in the old string tree with decorations from my five-year-old.

Good product
5/5

Didn't fit my bass, but then again the problem wasn't with the device. A friend of mine who is a luthier received it from me. Those who need it will be able to find.

Here is a shot of the finished product so you know it's good! In general, I am happy with the product
5/5

The only downside is that the letter "F" is partially covered by the frame if mounted on a fender. I really like the quality of this "A" string and the way it keeps the string in place!.

This string retainer is of the highest quality
5/5

My Jazz bass was built using this as a part. This is much better than using the small disk retainers to keep the D and G strings intact.

As if their bridge were a It was a touch too long (long) for the precision bass headstock (tele style) on my '54 Precision guitar
3/5

Had I gone with the two string version, I would have been fine. Top loading is one of their main selling points, just like their bridge.

This is an easy to install product
5/5

This is an easy to install product. If you do not want to mess with your headstock logo, it barely fits. A string problems are no longer a problem.
