Explaining Tuning Issues
With 3+3 Gibson Style Guitars & Why
Use the String Butler?
By Darrell Braun
Why 3+3 Headstock Guitars Go Out Of Tune?
Why The String Butler Solves Tuning Instability?
Improving the tuning stability to your 3+3 headstock guitar
- The design of the string butler is attached to the tuning posts of your guitar and corrects angles of the A, D, G, B strings ( + E strings for V4 & V5) going through the nut on 3+3 headstock designed guitars.
- This realignment corrects the position of the A, D, G, B strings ( + E strings for V4 & V5 ) to a straight line through the saddle notches, therefore reducing friction & improving tuning stability.
- These 4 strings ( or 6 strings for V4 & V5 ) are then guided on 4 small rollers ( or 6 small rollers for V4) for minimal friction.
To Determine Which Model You Need
A. if you have compatible tuners. Determining which version is right for your guitar If you have Vintage Keystone Tuners with bushings then you require the V1 model. If you have locking tuners, Robot tuners, Sperzel or Planet Waves Auto Trim Tuning Machines by D’Addario then you require the VI or V5 if you have a Flying V.
B. If you are using the V1 or V5 model no measuring required. For V2, V3 or V4 model you will need to measure the exact width in mm centre to centre of the tuning posts you will be installing them on. This measurement determines what version you need. V3 fits a wider variety of headstocks. V4 fits extra wide headstocks .The V2 was our original model that mainly was designed to fit Gibson & Epiphone guitars. Note for most Gibson Les Pauls, SG’s, ES-Series, Jr’s etc. Epiphone Les Pauls, SG’s, ES-Series with the hex nuts at the bottom of the tuning posts and if you have stock tuners you will have 3 options in most cases which are the V1 , V2 & V3. It’s your choice based on what look you like best.
C. the color you want.

Great Little Item!

My husband asked Santa for one of these for Christmas and got one. He just installed it on his guitar a few days ago. He loves it. Keeps those strings in the right place. It’s barely noticeable on the guitar, actually looks kind of cool. You guitar players have got to get one of these…..or more! Definitely worth the money if you’re having tuning stability issues!

Works great!
- Colour Name: Blackv3
I’ve heard a lot of good things about the string butler, I decided to get one for my Epiphone SG since I was having issues with tuning stability. It works fantastic! My guitar used to go out of tune after a few big bends, but now I can play and bend pretty aggressively with it hardly going out of tune at all!

it works!

easy to install, doesn’t look out of place on the guitar, but most importantly my epiphone les paul stays in tune way longer and is a lot easier to tune. I enjoy playing this guitar now instead of getting frustrated. The only down side is that it is a bit expensive, however it is made well, good quality.

Useful for 3+3 headstocks
- Colour Name: Blackv3stealth
My Les Paul was having tuning stability issues. This solved the majority of the problem. The install was pretty fast. The only issue was with keeping it in place while tightening the ferrules. If your guitar has a 3+3 headstock with that horrible LP style break angle then you need a String Butler.
