Schaller Tremolo String Retainer — Stable Tuning for Locking Tremolo Setups
This string retainer in Nickel finish is a precision replacement part for double-locking tremolo systems. Mounted behind the nut, it keeps each string seated at the correct break angle so the guitar returns to pitch after whammy bar dives and bends. The part measures 54 mm long with 35 mm between mounting holes, and ships with two M2.2 x 16 screws for direct installation.
Why Install a String Retainer
On a locking tremolo guitar, even tiny string movement at the nut causes noticeable tuning drift. The retainer presses the strings down so they cannot slip sideways or lift out of the nut slots during play. Schaller machines the part in Germany to tight tolerances, making it a reliable direct-fit replacement for worn or missing retainers on Floyd Rose-style setups.
