graphtech(グラフテック) PS-8001-00 STRING SAVER ORIGINALS FOR STRAT ＆TELE 2 1/16" SPACING ブリッジサドル オフセットタイプ

オフセットタイプのサドルを探していました。まだ、新品だから弦も切れにくいと思うけど、確かに切れにくいです。笑 販売店の梱包、気遣いはGOODでした。

新素材系で、音に直接関与する部品なので当然といえば当然だが、新しい音がする。分離も良くある意味アコースティックな音になった気がする。それを吉とするかは好みの分かれるところかもしれない。

Got these because they match the black hardware on the rest of the guitar, but also for the self-lubricating material. The material does seem to need to be lightly filed down once in a while in the nut slots (or in this case, the saddle string slots) because the would strings seem to create an impression on the material, which can reduce stability. That's fine with me, takes just a minute when I do my strings every week. Normally that would turn me off of this kind of product, but I'm pretty convinced that the self-lubricating material works really well (if you have the nut, AND saddles) and helps to reduce binding-areas across the entire length of the string, greatly increasing stability, and reducing how often you have to tune. (OBVIOUS NOTE: If you get the nut too, make SURE you cut your nut slots well, and for the gauge strings you're using or it will bind up. Took it to a music store to have one of these nuts installed and he screwed up the nut slots. Did the next one at home myself and it's perfect.) P.S. Make sure you have offset saddle screws before you buy this. Some strats have screws that go directly down the middle of the saddle.

Una selletta era spaccata e seppur utilizzabile, avvitando la vite dell’intonazione si sarebbe comunque aperta. Non è stato possibile cambiarle ma solo il rimborso. Peraltro avevo un buono sconto Amazon di 6 euro che è stato “assorbito” e non mi è stato riaccreditato. Le sellette a parte il difetto hanno le brugole delle altezze troppo lungo e fuoriescono dalla selletta dando una sgradevole sensazione quando si poggia il palmo sul ponte. Prodotto sconsigliato.

Does exactly what it says on the tin - "saves strings" Got an early 90s US Standard Strat (nice guitar) but my "slightly vigorous" style of play led me to break quite a lot of strings at the saddle. Since I've got these it's a rarity to snap a string at the bridge now. Fitting was a breeze.

I've been using Graph Tech Tusq XL products for over 20 years and I wouldn't use or recommend anything else. Performs exactly as described through Graph Tech website. Just be sure of your guitars exact specs before ordering.

My criminally neglected AmStrat was in bad shape, the fretboard was covered in gunk and rust. Saddles had to be replaced because screws had rusted into them. I cleaned it with mineral oil and Simichrome, finished the fretboard with a few coats of TruOil, and replaced the pickguard, buttons, knobs, and pickup covers. The Graph Tech saddles installed easily, have nice intonation, and sound good. Guitar is restored, plays slick as a whistle, and I highly recommend all the products mentioned in this review.
