Solid, sonic & simple. Upgrade your Tele now... You can pay more but for the most part only navel lint picking bedroom players will tell you they hear better comp brass saddles for the price...

Je n'en ai utilisé qu'une pour completer un jeu ancien. Rien a redire. Intonation presque parfaite sur les cordes ré sol.

The great Francis Rossi of Status Quo once told me "never buy a Tele with three saddles, you'll never get the thing tuned right". Well, I fitted these to my Squier Paranormal Nashville Stratocaster (which has a three-saddle Tele bridge), and managed to get it set up and intonated perfectly. Amazing value for money, a really easy solution that removes the need for whole new bridge arrangements.

What a difference, Hard Luck Kings Southern Belle. The stock was way out of line and couldn't shave the old down enough w/o hitting the set screws. Bought 2 sets, just get some and find out for your self.

I have a Paranormal Nashville Strat that I've been modifying slowly over time. I originally switched to some graphite saddles and while they looked cool it made the guitar way too thin and bright. It was kinda shocking how much it changed the tone. I probably could have tried some higher gauge strings, but I like .9s so I tried these saddles instead. These are that perfect sweet spot between the muddle nickel/chrome ones included originally and the ultra bright graphite ones. These brighten up the highs (not ice picky though) and thicken up the lows. Easy upgrade took 10 minutes or so including the time it took to fully intonate.

I actually drilled out my 6 saddle bridge that had offset intonation screws that the string would contact hard for these 3 saddles. The job wasnt perfect but i can do better next time. The saddles themselves have a weight thats indicative of brass. They are tall so the adjustment screw threads have a ton to grip on. For string spacing i went off of the pole pieces on my tele then filed a notch and it was near perfection. Wouldve been dead on if i drilled the holes more precisely. Intonation is 95-100 percent. I feel like i hear something off but i keep playing and forget all about it because the guitar feels and plays so much better. The old saddles would vibrate like crazy and actually lower the string height or simply become super offset so only one side of the saddle was touching the bridge. All 3 of these saddles make firm solid contact with the bridge. Side note, i shimmed the neck on this tele with the old saddles on and that remedied some of the problem but they still needed to go. I roughed in my adjustments before putting the strings and would slack the strings completely in between adjustment. When i was 95 percent there i lowered the strings the final bit under tension with zero issues. The guitar stays in tune much better now and the neck finally feels perfect strangely enough(14" radius). Sound wise i dont feel like ive gained or lost anything so take that with a pinch of salt. Im just much happier with the functionality of this guitar now with these saddles.

These Brass saddles feel solid, and came with bolts, springs and tools. I wanted the bridge saddles to look traditional on this Wall Art guitar. Solid product!

Installed these as an upgrade to a Squier Classic Vibe 70s Telecaster Custom and was frankly shocked at how noticeable the change in tone was. The best word I can think of to describe the improvement is that everything about the guitar sounds livelier. I was a little concerned that these do not have grooves for the strings but it does not seem to be a problem.

So I will admit to being quite frustrating with these because they came with zero instructions. Not even a picture. Nothing. Which is why I'm taking off a star in the rating. But I persevered and finally figured out how they're supposed to be installed (see the close up picture). I have to say they are pretty darn great. The sustain now seems to go on and on and on. Also, I broke a string doing this (shouldn't have, and it wasn't really related), and I didn't have any more 9's, but luckily my daughter gave me some 10's and I thought, well let me put these on. I have to say, the guitar sounds much fuller now. So I'm not sure if it's the compensating saddles or the 10's or both, but the guitar as never sounded better.

I've used Wilkinson compensated saddles before. I always upgrade a new Telecaster with these. You get better intonation with a compensated saddle versus straight barrels. Plus, for me, the brass is the subtle tone mod I want. Simple yet effective. That's what your Telecaster needs. Get these.

Ottime sellette, finalmente la chitarra è intonata, solo la terza o quarta corda, non ricordo quale delle 2 risulta leggermente crescente... Le consiglio, anche il suono è migliorato... Sarà per il fatto che sono in ottone
