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.

Do the job

Kim Renk 11.03.2022

Easy to fit and adjust and no ping on the strings, just what it say's on the tin.

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

Mood44 10.07.2023

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!

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.

I ordered this set for my Baja tele. Good quality, better than originals and very easy to install. The intonation improved, strings cannot slip anymore and you also get shorter height screws for the exterior strings that gives you more comfort when resting the palm on the bridge. Nice!

Better tone

Pouetons 13.01.2023

Put on a te-20 along with new tuners , string trees and nut. Intonation’s better. Tone has more clarity to my ears. According to the company, the saddles are designed for 10s.
