Very happy with the guitar strap. Looks more expensive than it is.

These are great I'm never going back. They look clean af and they make string changes a lot easier and faster. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. I wish there were more color options available!

I have several guitars of various makes and models and styles. I decided I wanted a classical, so I bought a Cordoba Luthier Series C-10 Classical guitar.The guitar arrived in good condition and sounded very nice. However, this was short lived. Not even 2 weeks later the guitar was in its stand and I heard a 'pop!'. The low E string had unraveled just above the bridge. I figured that maybe the guitar had been shipped with old strings on it. I'm new to classical guitars, so I was somewhat shocked at how primitive the method of restringing was...tying a knot and then adding significant tension on an expensive guitar seems strange to me. But you do what you have to do I guess.I bought some new strings and looked at YT videos on changing strings, and while the process still seemed archaic, I was able to accomplish it. But 3 weeks later and "Pop!" the E string unraveled again. I'm guessing that there's some sort of small burr or rough spot in the bridge which is slowly cutting the string. Considering the price of the guitar, I was pretty disappointed to say the least.That's when I found the Rosette Diamond Secure Classical Guitar String Ties on Amazon. A few of the reviews I've read complain that you still have to tie the strings...which is sorta true. However, you don't have tie the string over the bridge anymore (which is a clumsy endeavor, for me at least). This is like adding a Ball End (the end of an acoustic guitar string which keeps the string from slipping through the bridge). You tie the strings to the String Ties, run the other end of the string through the bridge, and tie them to the tuning pegs. That's it. These make changing strings WAY WAY WAY faster and easier. I haven't experienced any string slippage (make sure you double knot the high E). Plus no more scraping the crap out of the face of the bridge by tying strings the old way. Basically, these allow you to string your classical just like you do with your acoustics.As for the unraveling E string I was experiencing, it's been 6-8 months since I bought these and I haven't had a single issue. The ease of stringing your classical guitar makes these a no brainer even if you don't have the unraveling problem that I did. My only knock on them is that for what they really are, they're a bit pricy. But not obscenely so. I wold definitely recommend these.

I love the concept of these. I bought this to replace a different and larger set by a different company.These are very minimal which I like, and blends nicely next to an ebony bridge.The production is a bit lacking. The material feels a bit coarse/unfinished like a 3D printing material. Two of the beads had blocked holes that I had to dig open with a needle. Once that was fixed, installation was an easy to setup.They included a spare bead, so 7 total we're in the package.As long as they hold up over a year, then I'd recommend them.

The string holes on the bridge of my 1965 Jose Ramirez have grown huge due to decades of string abrasion. I had to stop using traditional string ties in order to preserve the last few millimeters of rosewood! I’ve used jade, bone and wood beads I found at bead stores with good results: tie a knot and thread it through the bead hole and you’re done. However, my old Ramirez is so worn even smoothly contoured beads were eating into and enlarging the string holes.So I gave the Rosette Diamond BridgeBeads a go, and I’m glad I did. At first appearance they’re underwhelming compared to the jade and bone beads I’m used to. In fact, they’re really unsightly when installed against the rosewood and cedar of my old guitar. Once I got over the cheap plastic styling, I must say this product works very well indeed: easy to thread the string and lock under the loop, faster to install than a traditional tie or knot, secure and no change in sound. However, the most significant improvement for my old Ramirez is the large flat gasket like design distributes the string tension across a much larger area surrounding the string hole, thereby reducing wear and abrasion.In a perfect world the Rosette Diamond BridgeBeads would be thinner and made of rosewood rather than plastic, blending in with the instrument. I won’t be installing Rosette Diamond BridgeBeads on my newer instruments as I’m happy with my smaller jade and bone beads. However, I consider the Rosette Diamond BridgeBeads a life saving surgery for my old friend, extending the life of my ’65 Ramirez for many more years. So not a perfect product but a darn good one and just what the doctor ordered.

These seem like a good idea, but you end up tying just as much as before because you have to loop the string up and down through a set of holes. I am not sure they are an advantage. They look good.

These suit my mixture of OCD and laziness perfectly! They look nice and neat while making string changing much faster. I much prefer these to the more popular, larger bead, as this is a much more low-key smaller bead that hides nice and snug under the bridge. Perhaps mine are even more stealthy because my entire guitar is black! For guitars with a lighter tone, such as the one used to preview the product, they are a nice aesthetic touch while not being as eye-catching as the larger beads. Plus they really keep bridge-wear from happening where the string normally ties tight around the bridge. A little too late for mine as she already has notching from the ties. It'd be great if they installed these onto fresh brand new guitars with an unmarred bridge. A very nice product all around. I will definitely pick some of these up if I get any more classicals or the ukulele variant if I get one of those.
