PAXPHIL HS106 CR Guitar String Retainer (Chrome)
The PAXPHIL HS106 CR is a compact two-string retainer for a guitar headstock: a plate with curled edges that the two strings pass under. It holds the strings closer to the headstock and increases their down-pressure on the nut. At 11 × 7.6 mm and only 3.2 mm tall, it is barely noticeable on the headstock. The finish is classic chrome.

Strings That Stay Put at the Nut
On an in-line headstock the thinner strings reach their tuners at a shallow angle and can wander in the nut slots. The HS106 holds two of those strings down: they stay in place, and open notes ring cleaner, without rattling at the nut.
Dimensions per the Paxphil Drawing
The plate is 11 mm wide, 7.6 mm long and 3.2 mm tall, with an Ø2.7 mm screw hole. The manufacturer's photo and drawing show the retainer together with a cylindrical Ø5 × 5 mm spacer with an Ø3.2 mm hole, which raises it above the headstock face. Before replacing, compare the dimensions with the old part on your guitar.
The Classic Butterfly Shape
A plate with curled edges is the classic solution for guitars with in-line tuners. The chrome plating pairs with chrome tuners, bridge and other hardware.
