These are a great upgrade from bent metal string trees. The color looks good too.

The Guitar Roller String Retainers are actually not rollers, but fancier "string trees" that are intended to pull the strings down and keep string in place in the nut on a flatter headstock similar to Fender Telecasters. I installed one string tree on a knockoff Tele guitar kit just to see how well it would work holding down the 4th and 3rd strings. I noticed a bit more string stability than playing without any string trees installed at all. So there's that.I think the product has the right idea in mind except for calling them rollers when they are not. But they did include two different spacers which any guitar builder/luthier should know the reason for. The tallest spacer should be applied to the 3rd and 4th string tree and the shortest spacer to the 1st and 2nd string tree. For those unfamiliar with string trees, there are plenty of videos that will guide you through the correct process and I would suggest watching a few before trying to install these. No instructions were included with the Guitar Roller String Retainers.Overall, I like the gold color of these string trees even though the silver or black option would have better suited to the guitar I'm working on. I have a couple of other future builds that I may use the Guitar Roller String Retainers on. But the price point is just about perfect for anyone wanting to upgrade their guitar and make it look a little cooler in the process. So if you don't care as much about brand name as you do the price, these are just right. Would recommend to others of all levels even if you just want to have some spare parts in your kit. I'm giving the Guitar Roller String Retainers four stars for mislabeling them rollers instead of string trees.

Aesthetically, these definitely offer something over the standard pyramid shaped style that come on many guitars, that said it's a matter of taste and I do not think even aesthetically that they will be super pleasing to everyone. In terms of functionality, I cannot say that these are necessarily better than the default cheapest option, which provide more positive retention of your strings, the slot machined in these small rods (they say rollers but do not be confused, indeed they are stationary rods with a channel machined in them for your strings, they certainly do not roll) is relatively small and short, so depending on the strings you choose, you may not get much positive retention at all, and it would definitely take a much less severe impact compared to the default ones to knock your string off of one of these. Another thing is while they do provide less friction against the string in tuning, it also really sortof depends on exactly how well your tuning pegs are lined up, as they can still provide some sideways rubbing against the aforementioned slots during tuning if your strings are not perfectly aligned, and being that most tuning pegs spin the string on a shifting axist, they almost surely won't be. I just don't get the same kind of confidence in retention on these that I do with the standard version, so to me it's a questionable tradeoff. A slightly different, possibly considered better aesthetic, for less practical functionality and maybe less rubbing on the string.. Maybe. At least they are priced cheaply enough to experiment at around $6 dollars.
