Fast Installation

To avoid possible damage to the instrument, it is recommended the installation of “The String Butler” to be installed by a professional but can be installed by yourself ( See Youtube Video below). To ensure optimum performance of “The String Butler” a new set of guitar strings should be installed. 

V2, V3 & V4 models are supplied two PVC washers to protect the finish from scratches (except in the string Butler acrylic “models). These PVC discs are placed over the tuning pins and placed under “The String Butler”. Check on the dimensional data in millimeters (mm) required from centre post to centre post. Note for V3 Clear only the maximum string gauge should not exceed .10 -.46 for electric & .12 -.53 for acoustic guitars. Other versions there is no restrictions on string gauge.

V2, V3, V4 Installation

First before buying one of “The String Butler” models, determine whether the mechanics of your guitar are suitable for mounting. If you have tuners that have tuning head bushings like “Vintage Keystone Tuners” then you require the V1 or V5 model.

For the V4 the smallest distance between tuner posts centre to centre is 57.0mm to a maximum 78.0mm. For the V3 the smallest distance between tuner posts centre to centre is 35.0mm to a maximum 58.0mm. For the V2 the smallest distance between tuner posts centre to centre is 44.0mm to a maximum 58.0mm.
