PAXPHIL HS006 CR Guitar String Retainer (Chrome)
The PAXPHIL HS006 CR is a classic butterfly-style string retainer for two strings, with a spacer. It holds the strings down against the headstock and increases their break angle over the nut, so they sit firmly in their slots. According to the importer, it fits most electric guitars. The finish is chrome to match chrome tuners and hardware.

The Right Angle at the Nut
On a straight headstock the thin strings leave the nut at a shallow angle — they can shift in the slot or ring on open notes. The retainer pulls two strings down toward the headstock, nut pressure increases, and open strings sound cleaner and more solid.
A Chrome Replacement for the Stock Part
Old part tarnished, bent or lost during a string change? The chrome HS006 restores a tidy headstock and matches chrome tuners. The stamped butterfly plate follows the same classic design, so the look of the instrument stays the same.
Dimensions per the Paxphil Drawing
The retainer is 11.2 mm wide with a 2.6 mm profile, 6.8 mm between string channels and a Ø2.4 mm mounting hole. The Ø5 × 4 mm spacer with a Ø3 mm hole sets the height at which the retainer holds the strings.

Who It's For

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a string retainer do?
It holds the strings down against the headstock and increases their break angle over the nut, so they sit firmly in the slots and do not ring on open notes.
How many strings does the HS006 hold?
Two: the butterfly retainer has two channels the strings pass under.
What is the spacer for?
The Ø5 × 4 mm spacer sits between the retainer and the headstock and sets the height at which the retainer presses on the strings.
How does the HS006 differ from the HS008 roller?
The HS006 is a stamped butterfly with a spacer. The HS008 is a roller retainer; according to the importer JAM it sits about 3 mm higher than a regular stock retainer, which is why the importer recommends the HS006 for Stratocaster-type guitars.
Is a screw included?
The source does not mention a screw; the photo shows the retainer and spacer. You can reuse the screw from your old retainer if it passes through the Ø2.4 mm hole.
Is this a genuine Paxphil product, and what is the warranty?
Yes. SoundsGood is an official Paxphil dealer in Ukraine; the warranty is 12 months on electronic and mechanical components.
