Saved my ES 355

HKHKHK 16.02.2020

I have a beautiful but difficult ES355, the difficulty being the (not uncommon) lack of tuning stability of the G and D strings, particularly under bending.

I played the guitar in the shop a couple of times before buying it, but I think that since I didn't own it at the time I was a bit gentle with the bends and didn't strum so hard, so the problem only became apparent after I got the guitar home. I was pretty crushed. I'm not an advanced enough player to "play around" the tuning issues and it was distracting me.

The String Butler is amazing. By straightening the 4 inner string pulls, the tuning is much better. Gibson necks still have a fairly sharp break, but if you are only noticing the tuning problems in the D and G, it's ikely the angled pull rather than the break that's causing the problem.

I do have a slight reservation with covering over part of the beautiful mother of pearl inlay on the 355 headstock, but knowing my 355 is now as stable as my Fender is a wonderful result.

Saving your Gibson!

If you have a Gibson and you like to do a ton of bends this thing is a lifesaver!

Pros:
It gives your strings a straight string pull and also fixes the headstock angle slightly. I use it on a Gibson SG and the thing stays in tune for days now!

It's easy to install if you have the right tuners (with screw in bushings).

Not a permanent mod.

Cons:
The look is a little weird at first. But if you like your Gibson to stay in tune and you've got a good lubricated nut, locking tuners. This is the only thing left to do!

You'll need a Gibson with tuners with screw in bushings (Grovers, new style klusons,..). Classic klusons with push in bushings will not allow you to install this unless you screw it in.

Conclusion:
If you can dig the look and want your Gibson to stay more in tune this works great! Easy to install and play more!

Easy to fit and works well when used with a trem

Ands 15.03.2023

Installation was easy (remember to use the small plastic washers so you don't scratch your headstock!), and it gives arrow-straight string pull over the but on my Gibson LP 2020 Classic.
I had fitted a Bigsby and wanted better tuning stability and had seen these and thought for the price it couldn't hurt to try.

If you're bothered over the aesthetic that's a shame, it was never going to be an invisible modification, but it's a great tool for improving Straight string pull across the nut.
My LP nut had been cut straight; strings not angled towards the respective tuners, so instead of getting a new nut, this was the cheaper and easier option.

Solid build but doesn't add any noticeable weight to the headstock end.

There is a clear version if you absolutely have to see the Les Paul signature or other headstock adornment, but for me the metal one is fine.

It does what it says, fits easily and solidly and is a great addition to LP type guitars is using a trem.

Well built and reduces the G string getting out of tune

nschutten 16.09.2024

It's not the perfect solution and may look a bit odd on your headstock, but it definitely helps reduce the G string getting out of tune.
