String Saver by Graph Tech Model # 8000-00 Classics Strat & Tele Style 2 1/16" Stainless(6 Pcs)

Best saddles available.

These are my 3rd set. I'll put them on any guitar I can. Amazing upgrade.

Stock Strat saddle screws gouging the palm of my hand! Ouch!

The cure for open wounds on my palm. The stock saddle screws on my Blacktop Stratocaster were continuously irritating the palm of my picking/strumming hand. Last jam blood was spilled and that was the last straw. I have bought and used String Saver Saddles on two other instruments, one is a Ibanez Jet King II with a Gibson style bridge that broke strings - fixed that issue completely. The second was a Deluxe Powerhouse Strat that broke strings - fixed that as well. The String Savers were installed on these instruments many years ago and two things stand out. Little or no string breakage (strings "age out" before breaking) and tuning stability.... rock solid, no "drift". Also - and maybe more subjective - bending seems easier. I am sure that the String Saver Saddles that I just installed on my Blacktop Stratocaster will yield the same positive results. Highly recommended!

Good Engineering

My vintage Strat saddles got really rusty over the years. Also i had many strings breaking due to sharp edges that came over the years. I think this product will not cause these problems (stainless and a dedicated little nut in which the string can properly sit). Makes total sense to me. It looks really nice on my guitar too.
