The string butler Questions and Answers, from my String Butler review video.
How to fit a string butler on an acoustic guitar and what are the differences between the different versions.
The original string butler review and fitting video;
• the String Butler. Do...
This is a follow up video to the original video I did on the string butler. In the previous video I installed one and did various tests to see if it actually worked and if it was work buying a string butler. In this video I answer some of the questions about the string butler that were raised in the comments. The questions I answer are;
00:00 What is the difference between string butler v2 and v3 ?
04:50 Which way up should the string butler be fitted ?
06:30 How do you fit a string butler on an acoustic guitar ?
For more information or to buy a string butler the official website is;
www.string-butler.com
The String Butler is advertised as being the solution for a guitar that wont hold it's tune. The advertising claims that the string butler reduces the angle the string passes over the nut and therefore preventing the guitar string from sticking and not tuning smoothly and correctly. However, I have noticed that the String Butler actually increases the angle of bend in the guitar string but it moves it further up the headstock of the guitar. I will fit install a string butler on a guitar and then test whether the String Butler actually does what it claims and can it reduce or prevent the string from sticking at the nut and therefore making the guitar tune up and stay in tune better.

Wish they made these for ESP Jackson and Gibson 6 in a line headstocks. I wish they made a version of them them for Lág headstocks as well

I've seen using the string butler for a couple of years now (v3) and my epiphone stays in tune all the time. Sometimes it just needs a little nudge of a tune, but over all I can just pick up my guitar and not tune it, just play.

It's nice to pick a guitar up and just play it without a tuning ritual every time . . 🙂

@@guitar-academy Thanks a lot you are very kind ..... I did some research and come to know that String Butler V1 (New that came out) will be the solution that will work. V1 replaces the Truss Rod cover and should work ...i have taken measurements. Thanks again for your time and replying back much appreciated thanks

@@RahulSharma-ry2pg I know that the size is correct, but watch out for the bushes on the tuner posts. On very old guitars these are just pushed into the holes meaning you have to screw the SB to the headstock with screws. But on newer vintage tuners the bushes are also bolts that will hold SB in place the same way the one is held in place in this video. 😊

Yes, I agree. But with some guitars you can't fit it the other way because the truss rod cover gets in the way. 😊

Version 2 would not have fit your guitar. You showed this example in the video from 3:01 to 3:08.

Yes that's correct, the version 2 is wider between the mounting points
