The String Butler V1 Standard

My Gibson SG is finally playable again. I had put it in a closet the last two years because I could not get it (G and D strings) to stay in tune and I played my other guitars instead. But now my Gibson is back to being my favorite guitar again thanks to the spring Butler. I wish other reviewer‘s would have said what version they bought instead of just saying whether or not they liked the string Butler . So I want to mention here that I bought the metal V2 size and I think it is the best size for a Gibson SG and Gibson Les Paul guitar . I also put a V2 on my Epiphone les paul jr. And now I plan to buy 2 more of these to put on my Epiphone Les Paul and Epiphone SG. I disagree with the people who say these are too expensive. I have to deal with machine shops in my daily job and based on quotes I’ve gotten for various mechanical parts I don’t really understand what basis people are using for comparison when they complain about the price. This item is lightweight yet has to be very sturdy to withstand the pressure of 4 strings constantly pulling on it. I see no deformation or bending on metal base, nor on the shafts the little rollers are on. There are 9 separate metal machined parts that make up this item. I feel this is a very high quality, well designed, and well machined item. Sometimes you get what you pay for and In my personal opinion I think the quality of this item and how well it works justifies the price. I think this string butler seems to have had more of a positive result on my tuning than any other single thing I have tried on my Gibson. On a side note, I went to the actual String Butler official website to see where it is made and I think this item is actually made in Germany. Today, as I am writing this review the dollar is only worth 0.86 Euro, so that exchange rate by itself explains some of the price I paid here on Amazon.com in the United States . I wonder if other reviewers have taken the dollar/euro exchange rate into consideration when they said the price of this item is too high.
