  • Each saddle is impregnated with PTFE, the slipperiest substance on earth. The PTFE in String Savers eases the grip between the saddle and string, spreading the stress over a greater portion of the string, just enough to drastically reduce string breakage.

  • Good upgrade for tuning stability and warm tone!
Style: Single
I picked up these GraphTech saddles for a project guitar I was rebuilding, mainly because I was VERY pleased with the quality of their string nuts and trees. I paid about $34 for them (shipping included), which is a little expensive for what they are, but still reasonable. I don't consider this to be a necessary upgrade given that you can buy steel saddles from GuitarFetish or other providers for as little as $13. Either the steel saddles or the GraphTech set are an upgrade over the stock zinc/pot metal ones that come with many cheap guitars and tremolo sets. However, I should be clear about what bridge saddles will do and won't do for your guitar. The tuning stability is DEFINITELY improved, however, I believe this has more to do with the GraphTech nut and saddles I installed at the same time. Still, there's no denying that these saddles are very well made, easy to install, and the material is extremely anti-friction, which prevents both tuning issues and string breakage. Even if the saddles aren't the sole cause of my improved tuning, it's hard for me to complain about them in any way! Then there's the issue of "improving" tone. I do think that bridge saddles are an important component in tone quality, since they are one of the key contact points for the string. That being said, you aren't going to notice a dramatic "improvement" in tone quality just by changing the saddles. Steel saddles work very well (and obviously have a more "vintage" appearance you might be looking for). I've heard that steel trends toward "brighter" tones, while the GraphTech warms up the tone a bit, and there might be some truth to that. So, if you're having issues with tuning, string breakage, or feel like your guitar is too bright, those might be some reasons to try these out. You certainly won't regret it if you do. ... show more

  • Magic Saddles for tone
Style: Single
These saddles are magical. I purchased a Donner DST-200 Stratocaster as a mod project and replaced the neck with a Canadian maple neck with rosewood fretboard, installed locking tuners, and a vintage style bridge with a brass block. This was a huge improvement over stock, but the vintage style stamped steel saddles left something to be desired. I replaced them with these graph tech saddles and the tone is night and day. It was so ice picky before and excessively crunchy. These saddles virtually eliminated all of the negative sounds this guitar was making. Hands down the most effective upgrade to the Donner DST-200 out of everything I’ve done. And they feel so comfortable to play when palm muting. The vintage style stamped steel saddles that came on the bridge that I installed constantly scraped your palm and pinky. These are smooth as butter. Fantastic, 10/10. ... show more

  • I have used graphtec saddles before and they are great
Style: Single
I have built a few customers when doing these belts I always try to include some of the best products available where graph tech string saver saddles are a great product in addition to any Guitar to help provide good strength tuning stability as well as a no pinch zone, which is the common cause of broken strings. When you do a heavy BAND your strain combined in the bridge.but not with Graph Tech the material has a permanent lubricating property so the string glides smoothly or the saddle will also providing stability when using a tremolo system. I have used these in conjunction with a bone nut and have great stability in all of my custom build guitars. They will stay in tune regardless how much you use the Treme system ... show more

  • Fits my Peavey T-60
Style: Single
I bought a vintage Peavey T-60 and thought the stock chrome saddles looked cheesy. These black saddles match the guitar better, in my opinion. The Peavey T-60 is about 2.1/8" string spacing, so I bought the narrower 2.1/16" spacing saddles after careful measurements. The saddles themselves fit, but both sets of screws and the springs are too short. I was going to buy new stainless steel screws, but thought that would look off on an older guitar combined with the aged stock springs. I ended up using the stock Peavey screws as they are the same size and thread for these saddles. I'm still working on intonation and final adjustments, but I think they work great. As far as if they have improved sound or sustain, I couldn't tell you. While the strings were off, I did a bunch of electrical work so it was a totally different sounding guitar compared to when the stock saddles were installed. I'm happy, so that's all that matters. ... show more

  • Awesome product but requires skill to bring out tone.
Style: Single
I installed this set on a Squier Standard Stratocaster and the graph tech nut. It took some creativity to shape the nut to conform to the neck's shape, but I am very pleased with the outcome. Overall the guitar is very bright, and chimey. and seems like an all around improvement IF you replace both the saddles and nut. Still trying to fine tune the string height, and intonation, but it is a great product overall. I would pay attention to string spacing as the nut string spacing is a tad wider and this could get you into trouble. Overall, a huge improvement in tone, and only improved by the understanding and skills of the one who installs the set. This is not "plug and play" Definately not a "Bolt On" improvement. ... show more

  • Great Replacement for Strat Style Guitars
Style: Single
I recently bought a used Fernandes Strat copy to make use of its sustainer system, and while it got the sounds I wanted, the guitar wasn't in the best condition. Among other problems, the saddles were very worn down, and the guitar wasn't holding tune well, so I decided to take a chance on these Graph Tech saddles, and I am noticing some improvement to the tuning. Ultimately, I think the tuners need to be upgraded, but these are helping at least. Moreover, the previous saddles were really a bit of an eyesore, so if nothing else, these saddles improved the overall look of my guitar, and I had no problems installing them. It might be my imagination, but I think the guitar even sounds a little bit better with the new saddles. The one oddity I will mention is that they use a different screw from most saddles, but it does come with the appropriate Allen wrench, so it's a minor gripe. I would definitely recommend these for a quick and easy upgrade on your Strat or other S-style guitar. ... show more
