String retainer for Dingwall D-Roc 5

[Martin Bergeron]

Hi, i am trying to find a string retainer for my Dingwall D-Roc 5. I saw that they have one on the NG-3 model but i can't find any company that make them. I've tried writing to dingwall but no answer since weeks. Do you guys have any idea? The screenshot is the retainer for a NG3 that would theoricaly fit on my D-roc.

You can probably contact StewMac and find out the length on these. It looks like some version of a Floyd Rose string retainer.
If you’re brave, it’s not super hard to make one out of some round stock. I’ve made a couple.

Check the dimensions. The ones I've purchased worked fine. I don't have a link for the ones i've purchased. Cannot find the email.

you mean you already have this same product? could you mesure it for me?

If anyone is running across this post like I did, I just bought a Dingwall with a missing string tree. This one will not work on Combustion 5'er. NG2

What is the distance in the screw holes that hold the retainer down? The holes in the headstock, not the retainer that won't fit.

I measured it using a set of dial calipers. Roughly 1.215" on centers for the screw holes on the head stock. The part I received from allparts is 1.130"
