The String ButlerThe String Butler V3 Stealth (All Black) - Best Guitar Upgrade to Improve Tuning Stability

I have a Les Paul with a Corian nut, and it's great for tone, but not so great for tuning. The Corian seems to bind on strings 4, 3, and 2. They go sharp - and instantly from the moment you release the bend. If you bend any of those strings, the string will stay sharp. Even if you don't bend them, the strings progressively go sharp as you play. It got so bad that the LP was virtually unplayable. I tried nearly every lubricant - graphite, gun oil, WD-40 silicon lube and others. I thought about changing out the nut, but LPs are still prone to that kind of binding no matter what material the nut is made out of. So, I opted to try the String Butler. It solved my tuning problems instantly. String bends are no longer a problem - the guitar stays in tune like guitars with no string break angle issues at the nut - such as Fenders. I opted for the black V1 model, as it was the least obtrusive. The picture makes the String Butler look like it is somewhat white/silver. It's not, it is just a reflection of room light, but the reflection helps to illustrate how the V1 looks on a Les Paul. Otherwise, it is nearly invisible unless you get really close to the guitar. It's way more expensive than either a new nut or a new truss rod cover, but the String Butler solved a really vexing problem, did so without any guitar tech surgery or labor costs, and it and got me back my Les Paul. It was money well spent. I highly recommend the String Butler to any Gibson owner with string binding/tuning issues.

Actualmente tengo una Epiphone Les Paul y siempre había tenido problemas en mantenerla bien afinada, ademas de tiene un bigsby, había hecho algunos cambios de maquinaria con bloqueo, puente con rolers y incluso el hueso para intentar mejorar esto, pero no había sido posible.Ahora que instale el String Butler ha sido sobresaliente el desempeño de este accesorio, sin duda ha sido la mejor compra que he hecho para mejorar la afinación, no tuve que hacer ninguna modificación e incluso ni quitar las cuerdas para instalarlo, únicamente afloje A-D-G-B y con eso tuve el espacio suficiente para poder colocarlo, utilizando los mismos tornillos que llevaba la tapa de ajuste del alma.Si tienes algún instrumento con maquinaria 3+3 String Butler será la solución para tus problemas de afinación, identifica cual versión es la que mas te conviene.

It's almost hard to give this little device the credit it deserves. That's because you practically forget about it once it's installed. Only after a while you remember all the G-string mayhem you went through before getting the Butler.It quietly takes care of business, never drawing much attention to itself, like a perfect butler should. The famous, classic Gibson headstock is a beautiful design visually, but a constant source of headaches nevertheless. The break angle of the center strings, D and G, is simply too big. With the D string this is not much of a problem, since it doesn't usually get bent, is much thicker, and wound. The G however is the annoying step child of Gibson players. Somehow, this note being slightly out of tune seems to cause more trouble than any other. A G chord might ring true, then you follow it with a D chord and suddenly your toe nails are curling up. Go from E minor to E major, and you want to die.I appreciate that the design of the Butler makes it possible to remove it without having caused any damage. Its "V" shape also makes it easy to install without running into trouble with the truss rod cover. I got the all black version, which on a black headstock is stealthy enough. The small change in looks is more than made up for by the increased tuning stability. The price is okay, not amazing for what it is in terms of materials and workmanship. I would say you pay about 25$ for the idea. That's fine by me. I have one on a Gibson BFG, and one on an Epiphone 335. They both have worked well for an extended period of time.

Va perfecto para la afinacion

Installation rapide et simple sur une Gibson SG Standard.Au bout de quelques semaines je ne vois toujours aucune amélioration sur la stabilité de l'accordement de la corde G principalement et B.
