String trees

ThisKid

hello, I am new to the forums. I have been playing guitar since september and recently got a warmoth jazzmaster. I was wondering if I needed a string tree (there isnt one), since the headstock is not offset and the tuners arent staggered, but it sounds pretty good otherwise.

thanks,

Gavin

If you think it plays fine without one then you don't need one.

String trees are just to improve the angle over the nut for the strings that are furthest away from the nut. If you don't have any problems with open strings buzzing at the nut or losing sustain then you don't need it.
