PAXPHIL HS008 GD Guitar String Retainer (Gold)
The PAXPHIL HS008 GD is a gold two-string roller retainer that complements a guitar with gold tuners and bridge. The strings pass under a Ø5 mm roller that turns with them and adds no unnecessary friction. The compact 10 × 12 mm body mounts with a single screw.

A Gold Finish for the Headstock
Guitars with gold hardware only look finished when every part matches. The HS008 GD lets you replace an ordinary retainer without breaking that look — and gain a roller design at the same time.
A Roller for Bends and Tremolo
During wide bends and tremolo use the string shifts along the headstock. The roller moves with it, so the string catches less near the nut and returns to pitch more easily.
Drawing, Height and Mounting
Per the Paxphil drawing it measures 10 × 12 mm, with a Ø5 mm roller of 6.6 mm working width and a Ø3 mm hole. According to the importer, it sits about 3 mm higher than a stock retainer and the screw is sold separately — plan your installation accordingly.
