These are pretty decent, but they unfortunately are very tall, meaning you hardly get any kind of break angle on a Fender Strat for which I bought them. If they would be 0.5 to 1mm less tall they would have been perfect. Because of that they also look a bit clumsy on a smallish headstock. Instead of the Strat, I put them on my Yamaha Pacifica 102s. Its headstock is a bit bigger, but even then the break angle isn't huge. Having said that, after I also lubricated the nut, bending the high strings on the Yamaha has never been easier, and it seems the B & high E strings stay in tune a lot better compared to the stock butterfly type string tree.
