They do exactly what they say they’ll do. I went from threaded old 60’s style addles to these, and intonation is MUCH better. I kept feeling like G was constantly sharp or flat. There’s a marked improvement now especially with open chords but even bars and individual notes are much improved. For what you get, compensated saddles if some kind are a must for those of us who prefer 3 saddles on our teles.

I picked these up for a Squier Classic Vibe I picked up. The Squier came with metal bridge barrels that screech. The brass mellows the tone. A much improved sound now.

For the technically non-proficient. Just turn the saddle around and thread the set screw through the opposite side. They didn't send you a bad set. These are classics and they're just what you want.

The saddles are tight up against each other due to the angle. There is additional angle to follow the radius to get the string heights set up as Fender recomends and that pushes them apart. The low E side doesnt’ really give way so this causes the high E side to move. This has caused my high E to get very very close to the edge of the fret board near the higher frets. I see no way to correct that. also the low E will not intonate regardless. It gets those typical strat double tones at the higher frets. I can live with that part.They DO help the intonation between the top 3 strings quite a bit. If you only play cowboy chords you may not care that your high E is almost falling off the fretboard. I noticed in photos of other reveiwers they are having the same issue. I guess they don’t notice.

These I had my guitar tech install them. They replaced the steel saddles that came with the guitar. Now the Twisted-Pickup-Purple-Tele sounds brassier with those replacement saddles. My guitar tech works magic, because they aren’t even compensated, and the guitar is near perfect in intonation. As close as one can get with 3 saddles.

It’s inverted. I’m sure I have someone’s saddle and I have theirs. Might go with another brand now.

Perfect upgrade for my Squier 50s Custom Vibe tele. Improved the sound and very good intonation is possible. Tried the $14 compensated brass Wilkinsons. They are OK but not as good. Spend the extra $ and be happy.

It was some improvement in sound and playability.

Una basura, vienen dos saddles para la cuerda 3 y 4, por lo tanto no se pueden colocar y hacer el setup correcto. Los devolveré.

Unfortunately I had to return these saddles. The intonation adjustment screws are too wide to fit through the holes in the bridge of my Indonesian-made vintage-vibe Squire Telecaster.

the closest of the original look and near perfect intonation

This is the SECOND set of these saddles I have received with two of the D-G saddles and no E-A saddle. You can't even flip them over to mitigate that because Fender decided to put a flat on the bottom.Fortunately I had a saddle in my drawer I was able to modify.Too much trouble to return.I would NOT buy these again.
