Good product!
I've been using the String Butler V3 BK for almost a year on my Les Paul Studio and so far I'm happy with it.
It's easy to install and didn't find any issues doing it. Also, it feels steady once done.
It didn't solve the g-string problem entirely, it still goes out of tune when the string is kind of old, but with new strings, it's definitely much better than without it.
If I ever get another Les Paul, I would definitely buy another String Butler right away.
Great service by Thomann.

Life saver!
This butler has saved my Les Paul guitar, so that it now stays in tune.

Great idea but, I still don't have stable tuning
I used the Butler on a Gibson Les Paul Studio with a Corian nut. I have both the bridge and the tailpiece locked. Unfortunately the Butler did not completely stabilise the tuning on this guitar.
The String Butler is well made and it does produce straight string paths over the nut for guitars with headstock's with 3 on a side tuners. The strings are still subject to friction through the nut due to headstock back angle. Any additional friction caused through bending the strings around the routing pegs on the Butler is minimised by free floating rollers. The Butler ideally requires tuners fitted with nuts to attach it to the headstock. It probably could be fitted to a guitar that used push in ferrules for the tuners, but only by drilling holes for mounting screws.
