Fender Road Worn Strat String Guide

The Fender Road Worn® Strat® String Guide (Part No. 0997202000) is a genuine Fender replacement part designed for players looking to restore, upgrade, or relic their Stratocaster with period-correct hardware. Supplied in a nickel finish with an authentically aged Road Worn patina, this string guide suits owners of American Vintage, Road Worn, Pawn Shop, and Classic series Stratocaster® models who want their replacement parts to match the look and feel of a well-played original instrument.

The string guide is built to the same specifications as original-era Stratocaster hardware, wearing a naturally aged Road Worn finish that blends seamlessly with vintage and relic'd guitars. It optimises string tension across the headstock, helping to minimise tuning instability — a common consideration on Stratocaster-style headstocks where the B and high-E strings benefit from additional downward pressure behind the nut. Mounting hardware is included, making installation straightforward.

Sold as a single string guide, this part is an ideal like-for-like replacement for worn or missing original hardware, or as an upgrade on guitars being built or customised with a vintage aesthetic. Its Road Worn finish ensures it does not look out of place alongside other aged or relic'd components, making it a practical choice for repair technicians and DIY guitar builders alike.
