Good stuff
I switched from slanted saddles to these compensated saddle. They significantly improved tone and sustain. The guitar vibrates more, sound is snappy and clear (no buzzing), and setup was easy. Intonation is accurate. I am curious to try the different metals.

These saddles resonate
Purchased the brass 5/16 to replace slanted compensated saddles. I was surprised to see how much these saddles make the wood of the guitar resonate. The notes are snappy and ring with sustain. Clear improvement to the guitar. Definite keepers and curious how the other sizes and metals change the tone. Installation was easy and intonation accurate. +++

Works great!
I bought these saddles in steel to use on a Tele project. They work great, screws do not sit high and bother my hand.

Compensated steel tele saddles
I originally had brass compensated saddles and the tone was just a tad too dull. I bought these hoping for a brighter, but muscular, tone. These saddles delivered the tone I was looking for. The tone sits right in between brass and titanium. They intonate easily and radius was easy to set. The steel is high quality. 5 stars all around.

compensated offset telecaster saddles
I've tried them all and these are hands down the best compensated saddles I have found.

COMPENSATED OFFSET TELECASTER SADDLE 5/16" DIAMETER - SET OF 3
Great saddles and great value! These are on 2 of my B-bender telecaster, and they hold up better than any other saddle I've tried to the constant friction of the B-string movement. And, definitely improved intonation!

Brass Compensated Saddles
I bought these to replace the ones that came on my Fender American Performer Telecaster. The stock saddles were fine but the string spacing was off at times and I would have to fiddle with it. These new saddles are a huge improvement as they are not only compensated they are grooved as well. No more weird string spacing and intonation is dead on too. The tone of my guitar has also improved with these new brass saddles. Very well balanced sound from bass to treble strings with excellent sustain. Comes with required hardware for installation and swapping them out was a breeze. I had fun doing this little upgrade and it paid off big time, very happy with my purchase from Philadelphia Luthier Tools. Super fast order processing and shipping as well. Great buying experience and will not hesitate to order again in the future. Thank you for the awesome saddles. The tele and I are very happy ?
