spiteboy Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Is anyone aware of specs or general guidlines in regards to placing string trees? I could always place them where they make sense, but I would much more prefer the accepted "correct" positioning before letting the ol' imagination place 'em for me Many Thanks, Spiteboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitman32 Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I dont think its that big a deal where you place them. You shouldnt put it too close to the nut though, which would result in a lot of tension on the tree and the strings. I would just go look at a fender and copy it.

fehgalloway Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I have two, 5.25cm & 7.5cm from the nut to the screw in the middle of the t. It's a el-cheapo strat rip-off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litchfield Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 What you want is a good angle from the nut so the strings dont pop out of the nut. You also dont want to interrupt the straight pull of the strings. That is why there is no set formula. However, you'll notice roller trees are places differently than bent ones. Reason being the rollers are taller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
