Agreed.
If you still want triple string trees, check with Reverend guitars (they use them on new models and may have name of supplier)

Re: Does anyone make triple string trees?
The issue at the nut is not any sort of break angle on the g string, but rather sympathetic vibrations from the string being too long past the nut. String trees stop this from happening. Take your Strats b and e off the string trees and play the open strings unplugged and you'll hear. Put your finger on them behind the nut and it will go away.
This isn't a major issue, but given I do most of my practicing unplugged, I notice it a heck of a lot more than I want to.

If the buzzing was due to string length past the nut, then there would be buzzing due to string length past the bridge saddles as well on guitars like Les Pauls with stoptails. When you put your finger on the string behind the nut, you are pressing it down into the nut slot, which cures the issue causing the buzzing in the first place when there isn't enough break angle over the nut slots.

Re: Does anyone make triple string trees?
Are you sure the problem isn't with the slot in your nut? If the string slot is too wide, you'll get that buzzing which will go away if you press down on the string just behind the nut.
Or if the slot isn't cut at the right angle so that the string leaves the nut at the front edge of the nut not somewhere behind the front of the nut.
Does the buzzing/ringing go away if you very gently touch the string as it just leaves the tuner (not right behind the nut or somewhere between the nut and the tuner)?
