Product Description

This is a pair of vintage style brass intincated bridge saddles for Fender Telecaster bridges in the Ashtray ashtray style. This provides better string intonation while maintaining the traditional appearance and feel of the instrument. Each section is individually cast to be staggered. Installing these new saddles is a snap. Just unscrew your old saddles and screw in the new ones. The saddles on these Wilkinson Telecaster bridges are made by Wilkinson

Questions & Answers

Could you give me a link or two to shorter screws that will fit If you could please help me out. Is that all?

You can look up item 2078309 by typing it into your search engine. With it, you can cut standard screws using holes for screw cutting on the Irwin wire stripper/cutter. In addition, you can just take one out and go to your local HDWR store to get one that is shorter. The screws are not exotic or special in any way. I wish you the best of

This is what size wrench is it? Unfortunately I was unable to find my original, and from my tool kit it appears to be too big and ?

This is not a good idea. There are still going to be slipping strings Slides from Gotoh are better

They will fit a Squire Telecaster, a CV-60 Telecaster, or other similar setups?

What I do not know is whether I should use the Squire or the CV 60 Tele. When writing an email, however, please include the following information Fender will be able to assist you if you contact them directly. I was taken care of by them and they did When I tried to use them on my Tele MIM, they did not work. It was the saddles that were set too low, so the strings were sitting on my neck too low and I was never able to adjust them properly. Your guitar should only have the parts that came with it. With a bit of time, little grooves will form in the brass barrels and your Tele will stay

This is an amazing product! After drilling holes for these to mount, I mounted them on the Mustang of my son
5/5

A lot of the sustain and tuning stability was due to them. Since then, it has remained in tune even when bent with heavy force.

There is a big difference between the two
4/5

I noticed there was a significant weight difference between these saddles and the cheap ones I had on my Danocaster. The weight is about twice as much. The sound also sounded better unplugged, particularly in terms of sustain and projection. Since they compensate for the issue, their intonation can be almost perfect if not perfect. It's much taller than my old saddles so I have to buy a thin neck shim from stew Mac since that was a bit of a problem before the saddle swap. I would buy these saddles again without hesitation for another 3 barrel bridge instead of graphite.

It's best to set my strings low to the neck before I start playing
4/5

I used it as described. This did not lose the "squak" sound as others have reported (I have been playing this instrument for The brass ones with grooves (see Allparts products) are still on the list. In any case, that is the best solution unless you want to use the six individual saddles and the It's best for me to set my strings at the level of the neck just before they begin The brass saddles were also filed to create grooves. I am not a guitar repair pro, so I did not have a good experience with it. Don't be afraid to try. To get the grooves just right, you have to space them properly.

They seem to be good so far. Their straight lines keep my strings in place. It would be nice if there was a However, they have grooved spots or are bent on axis as on expensive ones.

This was a good buy in terms of both price and quality I was happy with how fast my order was shipped
5/5

The price was reasonable (at under fifteen bucks, including shipping) and the quality was great. The package was delivered quickly as well. The only modification I will make to my new Baja Tele is this.
