Very reliable, works wonders
Alexandros1 03.11.2021
I got this to help with the tuning instability of my Dean V (due to headstock design this is arguably even worse than Gibson). It made a huge difference, as I don't have any tuning issues now, especially on the G string. I also find the look cool, but I guess this is personal preference.

Inexpensive, easy and effective upgrade
Andy Fereday 11.11.2020
I installed this at the same time as a set of schaller locking tuners on a Peavey SC-2 that I'm using as a platform for upgrading. It was really easy to install, fits very easily.

I don't know if it's the tuners or the string butler, or probably a bit of both, but the guitar has massively improved sustain now. I mean it just sings.

Tuning stability has definitely improved, but again that is probably a combination of the string butler and the schaller machine heads. One point to note is that having the locking machine heads made it slightly less fiddly to install new strings. It's not very fiddly with the string butler, you just need to take your time if you're not used to it.

For the price and ease of installation, I would say this is a very worthwhile upgrade.

Surprisingly good
Anttu 21.04.2021
It's a weird little thing, but it does keep the tuning more stable on my Gibson Les Paul, since the strings aren't in such a large angle.

Works perfect
robvandalen 20.01.2020
I placed this 'device' on the headstock of an Eastman T486B with impossible (sideways) string break angles. It greatly improved tuning stability. Although there are lots of people saying that string break angles do not affect tuning stability, this string butler works perfectly for me. The black color is almost non-visible on the headstock. Great piece of equipment for the price.

The Dietrich Parts String Butler V3 Full Black is a game-changer
blaz.evic 31.05.2023
The String Butler V3 Full Black addresses the common problem of the G string being prone to slipping out of tune or even breaking, especially during intense playing sessions or bends.

This small but mighty device attaches to the headstock of your guitar and provides an innovative solution to keep the G string firmly in place.

Looks cool
Victor Papa 27.11.2022
Tbh I mainly bought this for the looks amd aesthetics. Really juices up the wonky angle look LP headstocks get with the angled strings. Black on black looks great.
Didn't notice much of a difference in tuning stability as I also opted for locking tuners before I had much of a time to test the stability before vs. after.

It does help, but...
DL1971 26.11.2023
I placed the string butler on my Gibson ES-339 - and well, the tuning stability improved (e.g. testing when bending the G string a whole step at the 2nd fret). However, before installing, I recommend users to clean the slots on their nuts regularly. In other words, it really works well in conjunction with smooth and cleaned nut slots.
