No difference
Barcelli 22.09.2021
I changed for these on my chinese tele type to see if they provided me with a difference that would suggest i should change on the other tele types.
There is a difference when i sit alone and spend all my energy on analyzing, but as soon as i play with my band or with backing tracks i would not be able to tell these apart from the chinese cheap saddles.
So…. To me they are a waste of money - not because they are bad but i honestly dont know if they are better or not. They are just a little bit different….

Original-Looking C`compensated Brass Saddles
Anonymous 12.02.2016
I recently ordered an ABM Roller Bridge for one of my other guitars and was so impressed that I ordered a set of these for my Tele.
I already have compensated brass saddles fitted, but they are the more common ones with the offset machined flats, which work well but start to sound like a sitar when they wear. It's easy to see why this happens: a groove wears into the soft brass where the string passes over it, causing the string to cut into the edge and then sit on the machined flat. Next thing is a sitar-like buzz.
These saddles are designed differently: just a very simple groove cut into the brass barrel - one for each string - exactly where required for proper intonation. Ingenious! Plus, they also have the benefit of looking exactly like original vintage saddles from anything other than inches away.
Easy to fit, great-looking, great-sounding. Highly recommended.

Good but lacking instructions
Dr_Pilsner 26.10.2022
Good for 10-46 strings without additional work. They come in a small plastic bag without any instructions. Fortunately there is a pdf on the manufacturers website to help.

Great tele upgrade!
LaurensDHs 14.06.2020
I am really liking these saddles, both the looks and sound. Noticed a dramatic change in sound compared to the (cheap) stock saddles on my telecaster. Very easy to install and intonate thanks to the V-shaped notches. Had a great experience with an ABM strat trem system in the past. This product is no exception: great quality and finish. Highly recommended! One very minor comment though: the colour of my particular set was slightly different from the set shown in the picture.

Necessary For Your CV Tele of Other Models

Bought these Saddles for A Squier Classic Vibe Tele.
Did a string tree upgrade before these saddles which was a big improvement for tunings stability.
I replaced them piece by piece so I could see the distance from the old ones to keep the intonation which was good with the old saddles.

I was amazed with the difference in sound. Some harsh frequencies I had with the bridge pickup where gone after the replacement of these saddles. A great and recommended upgrade/

Instant gold
M_Erre 29.12.2020
I had an Harley Benton te52 that was already good as we all know but it could be better.
do you want instantly turn your tele into a clear, crisp vintage one with better sustain, articulation and clarity overall? that is the effect of changing standard saddles with brass ones and this did an excellent job.
i would never belive such an effective change would happen with changing just the material of the saddles.
Perfect.

Looks and feel great
Twinkleboy 22.09.2020
I put these on my Squire Offset Telecaster and they look and feel great! Gives the telecaster a bit warmer sound and a more "vintage-ish" look

Will buy again if i come across a new telecaster project that doesnt have brass saddles!

That is what I can say. Gorgeous. I installed them on a HB TE-52 NA and it is now top.

Good saddles with perfect intonation
Roemans 16.08.2018
I bought these because it was impossible to intonate my telecaster with the original saddles. with these saddles I am able to intonate it perfectly.
The only minor downside is that you get a little decolourization on the saddles when you palmmute a lot. but this is purely cosmetic and it doesn't bother me, but it might bother someone else.
