PAXPHIL HS006 GD Guitar String Retainer (Gold)
The PAXPHIL HS006 GD is a two-string butterfly retainer in a gold finish, made for guitars with gold hardware. Together with its spacer it holds the strings close to the headstock and steepens their break angle over the nut. The importer notes that it fits most electric guitars. It mounts with a single screw through a Ø2.4 mm hole.

Gold to Match Gold Hardware
A chrome retainer among gold tuners catches the eye immediately. The HS006 GD keeps the headstock looking consistent on gold-hardware guitars — during a repair, an upgrade or a build from scratch.
Steady Strings at the Nut
The retainer presses two thin strings toward the headstock: the break angle over the nut increases, the strings stop wandering in their slots and do not buzz on open chords. It is most noticeable on straight headstocks, where the angle is shallow to begin with.
Drawing and Spacer
Per the Paxphil drawing the retainer is 11.2 mm wide with a 2.6 mm profile and 6.8 mm between channels. The Ø5 × 4 mm spacer with a Ø3 mm hole lifts the retainer to the right height above the headstock.
