Graph Tech String Saver PS 8000-00 - Originals Strat & Tele Style Saddles - 2 1/16" Spacing

Fantastic on both my USA and MIM Stratocasters. For those with tremolos, these greatly benefit tuning stability. When replacing bent steel style saddles, these are infinitely more comfortable. I recommend buying a set of extra short saddle height screws for maximum comfort.

I bought a set of these for an American Standard Strat, Excellent saddles and a great improvement over the standard fitment, as someone else mentioned in another review, these should be original equipment on all high end guitars; I was sceptical at first but sustain is improved as well.

Easy to fot & adjust. Improved tone

Excellent saddles and a real improvement over the standard saddles. Don't know why these aren't original equipment on high end guitars.

Did exactly what I needed them to do. Great saddles.

I was a bit sceptical first,but man,what a difference! Used on my HS Squier Strat project,paired with Wilkinson tuners and GrapTech nut,now my guitar stays in tune as a champ,and yes,the tonal character is a bit different from the original with poor quality saddles. It's a bit expensive but worth the money. Looks cool and sounds cool, recommended!

Good replacement part

Good replacements for a standard fender. Also fits a Yamaha Pacifica. 10.5mm fitting. Especially recommended if you have the old style bent metal strings and are fed up with the grub screws catching your palm when string muting or strumming. Comes with two sets of screes (one longer set) and an Allen key for the grub screws.

I have a Fender American Pro strat that came stock with the bent steel saddles. I was not a fan of higher frequencies on the the unwound strings, especially past the 12 fret. Just too bright and harsh. So I did some research and learned that I could tame the tone with block saddles. I like graphtech products so I ordered a set of string savers over regular stainless steel blocks. The quality is fantastic and installation was a breeze. I'm happy to report that these saddles warmed the guitar's tone and added a nice bit of sustain which the stock ones lacked. They also stay in put and I don't have to worry about the string spacing anymore. If there is a downsize, it would be that all of the set screws are the same size so I had to replace a few with shorter ones since the stock ones were sticking out beyond the height of the saddles. Now the guitar is super comfy and I can rest my palm on the saddles without any issues!

Muy buen producto , lo recomiendo!

Ich wollte es nicht wahr haben, aber die Gitarre klingt definitiv besser. Die Resonanz ist besser und hat mehr sustain. Außerdem sind die Saiten hierbei gut aufgehoben. Ein kleines upgrade mit großer Wirkung.

Utilizzo graph tech per le selle, il capotasto ed anche gli alberelli abbassacorde su tutte le mie chitarre. La differenza rispetto alle selle di fabbrica è sempre notevole (avevo selle vintage ripiegate che camminavano allegramente a destra e sinistra.). Le corde sono più stabili e scorrono molto meglio.

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.
