I paid about $34 for them (shipping included), which is a little expensive for what they are, but still reasonable. I don't consider this to be a necessary upgrade given that you can buy steel saddles from GuitarFetish or other providers for as little as $13. Either the steel saddles or the GraphTech set are an upgrade over the stock zinc/pot metal ones that come with many cheap guitars and tremolo sets. However, I should be clear about what bridge saddles will do and won't do for your guitar. The tuning stability is DEFINITELY improved, however, I believe this has more to do with the GraphTech nut and saddles I installed at the same time. Still, there's no denying that these saddles are very well made, easy to install, and the material is extremely anti-friction, which prevents both tuning issues and string breakage. Even if the saddles aren't the sole cause of my improved tuning, it's hard for me to complain about them in any way! Then there's the issue of "improving" tone. I do think that bridge saddles are an important component in tone quality, since they are one of the key contact points for the string. That being said, you aren't going to notice a dramatic "improvement" in tone quality just by changing the saddles. Steel saddles work very well (and obviously have a more "vintage" appearance you might be looking for). I've heard that steel trends toward "brighter" tones, while the GraphTech warms up the tone a bit, and there might be some truth to that. So, if you're having issues with tuning, string breakage, or feel like your guitar is too bright, those might be some reasons to try these out. You certainly won't regret it if you do. Review: Magic Saddles for tone - These saddles are magical. I purchased a Donner DST-200 Stratocaster as a mod project and replaced the neck with a Canadian maple neck with rosewood fretboard, installed locking tuners, and a vintage style bridge with a brass block. This was a huge improvement over stock, but the vintage style stamped steel saddles left something to be desired. I replaced them with these graph tech saddles and the tone is night and day. It was so ice picky before and excessively crunchy. These saddles virtually eliminated all of the negative sounds this guitar was making. Hands down the most effective upgrade to the Donner DST-200 out of everything I’ve done. And they feel so comfortable to play when palm muting. The vintage style stamped steel saddles that came on the bridge that I installed constantly scraped your palm and pinky. These are smooth as butter. Fantastic, 10/10. ## Features - String Saver Original saddles are made with a unique combination of materials made to enhance tone and dramatically reduce string breakage. - Each saddle is impregnated with PTFE, the slipperiest substance on earth. The PTFE in String Savers eases the grip between the saddle and string, spreading the stress over a greater portion of the string, just enough to drastically reduce string breakage. - Measure: Length - Width - Height - E to E; inches: 0.815 - 0.410 - 0.230 - 2.076; mm: 20.70 - 10.41 - 5.84 - 52.73. - Black color. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #23,506 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #15 in Electric Guitar Saddles | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 441 Reviews | ## Images ![by Graph Tech Saddle Strat & Tele Style 2 1/16" Spaced (6 Pcs) PS-8000-00 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ri9fbVL2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good upgrade for tuning stability and warm tone! *by S***1 on February 11, 2013* I picked up these GraphTech saddles for a project guitar I was rebuilding, mainly because I was VERY pleased with the quality of their string nuts and trees.
