Exceeded Expectations
They sound great and look great (more of a rose-gold color than yellow brass). They intonate beautifully. Easy to install. Very precise machine work. The improvements to tone and tuning are immediately apparent. There is also a slight improvement to sustain, which I was not expecting. My only regret is not making this upgrade sooner. Very highly recommended.

Wow! Improved look, sustain and tone
I knew that these saddles were going to improve the intonation of my telecaster because they're compensated, and I was replacing straight barrels. What I wasn't prepared for, though, was the noticeable improvement in sustain and tone. A treat for the eyes, too: I was pleasantly surprised to find that the color of the brass leans more toward a rose-gold than a traditional yellow, which truly compliments the vintage white color of my instrument. Installation was easy; for a right-handed player the 1st and 3rd saddles are oriented with the break point "low to high," while the 2nd saddle is installed "high to low." Although I found it necessary to reverse the height adjustment screws in one saddle in order to achieve the correct compensation, this hardware is of such high quality that the operation was effortless. Setup was a breeze; the Compensated Offset Telecaster 1/4" Saddles are a sturdy build of an exceptional design. My only regret is that I waited as long as I did to do this upgrade. Very highly recommended; it feels like I just acquired a new guitar.

Intonation Station
These are awesome. My Tele is in tune all the way up the fretboard. Remember to flip the middle saddle and put the set screws in from the other side. If you know how to intonate these will make your electric twanger sing.

Just what I needed!
Zac Childs sent me to Philadelphia Luthier for the perfect compensated steel saddles for my "white guard partscaster build". They were just as advertised, easy to install and adjust and sound great.

Works great!
I used the steel saddles in my latest project, and they worked great.
