At least they look kinda nice.
I originally got these for the aesthetic. I wanted to replace all of my silver hardware for nice dark/black hardware, and I also wanted great parts for my headstock. I bought these because they look really cool, and they sound like a great idea. I thought they'd fare nicely with the GraphTech nut that I have installed.As far as tuning stability goes, they're definitely better than my old wing style string trees, but the roller function is not as good as I'd hoped.The rollers are joined to both sides of the string.They're connected.THIS RUINS THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE ROLLERS IN THE FIRST PLACE.These trees also sit very much higher than the old trees. It barely brings the strings down, and it does not look very good (IMO).TL;DR: These string trees definitely work better than my old metal wing-style string trees... but it's not as great as I'd hoped. I don't mean to complain about an eight dollar guitar part; I can definitely say it's worth the eight dollars, but with a little searching, you can find a better bargain. GraphTech makes great trees.

Look Good
Look very nice and fit right into old holes. I do wish they sat a tad closer to the neck, at least the B and high E string tree as there isn't as much pressure on the strings to angle them down on the nut as the stock trees. I haven't noticed a particular issue with sustain or intonation but for ascetics I would like to have it look like the tree is doing its job.

Couldn't Be Better
These are exactly what you need to refit your string trees on your Teles. This type doesn't have the little lug up front of the screw hole, so you don't have to bore a little pilot hole.I had the ugly gull wings on one of my Teles and these went on in an instant. I've tried both types, the Fender ones that are round but don't roll, with the extra lug to drill a pilot hole for, and this model.These roll and I recommend them highly.

Work great
Work great but they are too tall for the B/e strings...so I jus ground down the base of that one and the one for the D/G strings was the proper height

Not the best
I tried these then threw them away. The rollers have too much end play wobble. Plus, they raise the E & B string a lot higher which for me is not good with staggered tuners. The rollers are spaced farther apart than the stock Fender "wing" guides. That could cause a slight binding where the string passes on the nut. End result...….stay with your stock Fender guides.

Roll on, roll off!
Worked like a charm and helped a lot with retaining the strings. Helped with making the strings slankier as well( which I like). Well worth the money. I got them black and they blend in well with the guitars black head stock.

Almost too tall
It is really really tall, so it is almost not functional. That being said, this was for a cheap guitar, and it's definitely good enough. If I was looking to upgrade anything better than a squier, I would say this isn't good enough, but for a sub 500 dollar guitar, it'll do the trick.

Low quality
These are extremely low quality. I expected this to be the case. Unfortunately they were worse then expected.

very cheap screws
The srews are very cheap and you will ruin them even if you are very gentle. The company should be aware of that and know something about hard wood and provide stronger screws

Not good
Not the right height, too high, give no tension, screw too long.
