Here's the bad news: Your Telecaster will never be in tune. As amazing as Leo Fender was, as breathtakingly complete yet simple his first groundbreaking design is, the classic Tele bridge with three saddles is simply not up to the task of giving you perfect intonation. What's the difference between intonation and being in tune? Easy. You can tune your guitar with the most precise strobe tuner available, get all six strings pitch perfect when you pick them open, and the second chord you play (try a D after a G chord ...) will sound janky. Why is this? The frets on your guitar force the pitch into an approximation of the right note. Since you have six strings of different thicknesses, there will always be a compromise. The idea behind adjusting the intonation (as opposed to the tuning) of your strings is that you set the scale length, which is the vibrating part of the string between the nut and the bridge, individually. Typically, the G or B strings profit from a slightly longer scale length, for instance. In later designs, like his ASAT, which is the Tele version of his G&L brand, Leo gave each string an individual saddle. In "cassic" Teles, each of the three saddles have to work for two strings. Good luck trying to nail the intonation on both the D and G strings, which usually need different adjustments! In other words, there can always only be an approximation of perfect intonation. Now, clever inventors have come up with all kinds of ways to make old school Telecaster bridges more precise. The problem is, these inventions tend to be finicky. I spent a lot of money on "adjustable" bridge saddles that only gave me new headaches. There are the ones that are slanted. Problem is, you never know which string to give the short or long end. Then, there is a very expensive "solution" which makes you first adjust the intonation for one string, then you have to go in there with the tiniest Alan wrench there is, you know, the one you can NEVER find when you need it, and shift a small part inside the brass saddle in the other direction, then try to lock it in. My main gripe with this thing was that the strings often ran across the height adjustment screws and didn't give me clean vibration. I got interesting sitar sounds, but that's not exactly what I wanted. Enter the cheap Guyker bridges. They simply do the job, and allow for a "close enough" intonation. You want computerlike precision in your tuning? Buy a Parker Fly or whatever the current most advanced science fiction axe is that Dr. Fludd is pushing. You're a Tele player, for god's sake. Do a lot of bending and call it character. At least, these won't break the bank, and they'll give you all the brass twang you need. As for the tuning: Close enough. Enjoy, cowboy.

If you want that great Telle tone then these brass saddles are the ones. Great fit and tone. Intonation was a breeze.

These work for getting your telecaster traditional bridge to intonate.Half the price of the Gotoh brand.

6/21/24: I ordered a set just to see if Guyker got their act together and actually quality controlled these saddles...NOPE! SAME BULL AS MY PREVIOUS REVIEW & PHOTO! RETURNING ASAP! 4/28/24:These are no longer same quality as they once were. They gave up on this one badly! If you look at my photo, the RED is where the intonation lines are supposed to be and when flipped the lines invert. What they've been sending out is where the WHITE is, which is straight line in the middle. That is not compensated at all! Might as well be a standard barrel saddle... this is now JUNK!

I was skeptical but picked up a set. Tuning on my tele is perfectly spot on so I give it 5 stars for price and function.

Intonation (strobe tuner) is no better than stock, in my experience. Barrels are too wide for Squiers.

Only $10 bucks and nicely but incorrectly machined.- The saddle grooves are NOT offset or compensated. lSo the net result is exactly the same 'intonation' as a standard / straight set...

These are a good quality copy of the Gotoh InTune saddles (which are the best replacement saddles available for Telecaster) at a fraction of the price. Highly recommended.
