PAXPHIL HS008 BK Guitar String Retainer (Black)
The PAXPHIL HS008 BK is a two-string roller retainer in a black finish that blends discreetly into guitars with black hardware. Its rotating Ø5 mm roller holds the strings down against the headstock without gripping them by friction. It measures 10 × 12 mm and mounts through a single hole.

A Black String Tree for Black Hardware
On a guitar with black tuners, a chrome part on the headstock looks out of place. The black HS008 BK keeps the stealth look of modern instruments and does not draw the eye away from the headstock logo.
Less Friction, Steadier Tuning
The strings sit under a rotating roller rather than a fixed clip, so they move more freely when you bend or use the tremolo. Afterwards they find their way back more easily, and the tuning holds more confidently.
Dimensions and Mounting
Per the Paxphil drawing it is 10 mm wide and 12 mm tall, with a Ø5 mm roller and a Ø3 mm hole in the base. The importer notes the HS008 sits about 3 mm higher than a stock retainer, and the mounting screw is sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the PAXPHIL HS008 BK?
A black two-string roller retainer measuring 10 × 12 mm. Its Ø5 mm roller holds the strings to the headstock with reduced friction.
How does it mount to the headstock?
With one screw through the Ø3 mm hole in the base. According to the importer, the screw is sold separately.
Why does the retainer have a roller?
The roller turns with the string and reduces friction — after bends and tremolo use, the strings return to pitch more easily.
Is the HS008 available in other colours?
Yes: HS008 CR in chrome and HS008 GD in gold. The dimensions are the same; choose by hardware colour.
Will the retainer be too tall?
The importer notes the HS008 sits about 3 mm higher than a regular stock retainer and recommends the classic HS006 for Strats. Check the height on your guitar before buying.
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.
