Rollers

This is a light make-over...

... the default string retainer replaced with a roller version. For guitars with non-locking appointments, tuning stability could be stabilized if one addresses the instrument's points of contact with the strings, namely the bridge saddles, nut, string retainer & machine heads. In addition to lubricating my string saddles & nut slots, I make it a point to reduce friction at the string retainer so this is a simple improvement that works (for me). Guitar in this pic: LTD TE-212.
