I am on my 8th high E string since installing the LP/ SG trem unit.. There was a burr that kept cutting the winding. The ball comes off or it breaks ALWAYS at the ball. I used a Dremel and sandpaper to dress the tailpiece, worked for a while then same problem. I then modified a nylon 1/8" nut to house the ball in. Hasn't broke since but looks like hell. Now it has started on the B string. It is a quality looking unit but they do an absolutely piss poor job of deburring and cleaning up the machining. I bought it for a 77 LP Std and am glad I put it in a POS $40. Silvertone SG for a test. Stay away from this. I thought of ordering some locking tuners from Guyker but their quality is non-existent. Dusenburg makes one for the same price
