  • Great Improvement in Dual Tele Saddles.
I have bought Gotoh hardware for years. It has always been excellent and well designed. These Tele saddles are great! The compensated saddles allow you to get proper intonation without compromise. Stagger them so the high E is closest to the fingerboard. Then the B and G both have a little longer string length than the last.The D takes care of itself, and then set the A and low E a little longer string length. The saddles come set up for this: pay attention before installing. If you get them in the correct order, intonation is almost taken care of. The brass rings loud and true. The notches keep the strings in place. Far better than the square, factory saddles. ... show more

  • The Best 3-barrel solution for Telecaster intonation.
I installed these on a custom built Tele. I've used other less expensive options but these are without a doubt the best. Easy to set up and gets you 90% of the way to best intonation of a tele, second only to having a bridge type with 6 individual string adjustments.

  • Big difference
I was a little skeptical when I bought these but I'm pleasantly surprised on the performance. Very easy to install and greatly improved tuning stability and intonation.

  • These Are The One For a Vintage Tele!
If you have a Tele with a 3 barrel saddle you know the struggle with intonation. Leo Fender got a lot right with the Telecaster, but intonation on a 3 saddle bridge wasn't one of them. The compensated 3 barrel bridge by Gotoh has helped in solving this problem. I have bought these for a couple of my Tele's and they are the only ones that work like they should. Why buy these Gotoh's over another brand? Well i'l tell you. The Gotoh's have a groove in them making a channel for the string to stay in. So no more string moving all over the saddle. Also they do a great job at intonation . My Tele is all but perfect now. The low E is still little off but fine in the chord section of the neck. Also although other brands use brass for the saddles, the Gotoh's seem to sound more like the original Tele brass saddles only with better intonation. As it should be! Buy these and you will not regret it. ... show more

  • These work well ang look great
I put these on my Squire 60's Vibe Telecaster. Simple installation. They did in fact improve the intonation (still not absolutely perfect but . . .) as well as adding a cool vintage look to the guitar. I know Fender used a variety of saddles over the years but to me these are the ones that appear to be 'correct'. I think the guitar played and sounded fine (actually great) before I put these on but, overall I like them. They just make it a little bit sweeter to play and they look good. Just make sure that they're oriented right so they perform as intended. The documentation that came with them was a bit sketchy. A YouTube search and info I found at their website cleared things up. Overall a relatively cheap improvement to a Tele. ... show more

  • Great Tele saddles, no mfg packaging, just plastic bag.
Great brass compensated tuners. There is a reason they cost 3x $$ of generic compensated tuners. These tuners are among the best you can find. The intonation accuracy and improvement on my Tele was obvious and remarkable. Intonation is important. These Gotoh tuners are a valuable investment into your sound and tone. But the complete lack of installation instructions led to incorrect installation. I 'found out' that they are not all three saddles machined the same. The string groves are cut for each string specifically. You have to flip one of the saddles, put the screw back into the saddle in the other direction and the install between the other 2 saddles. Directions would have illustrated this idea. There was no manufacturer packaging or any indication of who the manufacturer actually is - these could have been manufactured by anybody. The items I received are very high quality and appear to be genuine gotoh items, despite the absence of manufacturer packaging. I am suspicious of nonfactory packaging, especially when paying top dollar for a top end product from a prestigious manufacturer like Gotoh. ... show more

  • TONE & INTONATION.
GOTOH for the win! Great tone, truly. Intonation is SOLID and I'm super picky. Can't go wrong. GOTOH now and forever.
