KAISH Set of 6 Stainless Steel Saddles Electric Guitar Bridge Saddle 10.5mm with Nickel Screws for Strat Tele Guitars

I bought these to replace the standard Fender nickel saddles on my Telecaster. The old ones were worn to the point where strings were breaking from digging and creating sharp contact points. I'm glad I went with these. They look nice and clean, and I won't need to worry about the finish getting hazy, corroded or wear from the strings digging in as with nickel finishes. I don't notice any change in tone really from nickel, MAYBE a little more treble? I'd have to do a side by side test. My big worry was if I'd break guitar strings since it's a harder surface (I've heard metal nuts will do that), but I have used my Tele for several gigs and rehearsals with no issues. They're a winner.

I am definitely getting another pair of these nice steel most other saddles I find are very cheap and ugly looking but these are nice and clean

Fit my guitar perfectly. Easy to adjust, and never have to worry about corrosion. All around great addition.

5 out of 6 of the saddles were functional. One saddle had the intonation screw threads drilled sideways & crooked. But the real disappointing part was that all 6 of the saddles had major dings & dents. The damage did not occur in shipping. It was obvious the parts were polished/tumbled or whatever, with those big dents & dings in the metal. It's like they didn't care when they were making them. And they were all filthy with black soot all over them. It's a shame because Amazon really pushes the Kaish brand. And so far it seems like they don't care at all about the quality of their products. Definitely not buying Kaish products again.

Perfect fit for ESP ltd st 213 (stratocaster)

These are nice and heavy, compared to the Fender 'toboggan' type saddles on my Telecaster. The GDT (geometric dimensioning and tolerance) is a perfect match size-wise for both my Telecaster and Stratocaster, and the black height adjusters, springs, and intonation adjustment screws are nice looking, compared to the chrome OEM parts. The string slots are precisely milled and polished, and that's an improvement for stability over the OEM parts, which rely on tension to keep the strings in place.The only reason I didn't give these 5 stars, is due to the finish, milling, and edge-break on the topside of the saddles. Aesthetically, the matte finish stainless steel doesn't quite match the chrome bridge plate on my Telecaster (or 70's reissue Strat), but I don't mind that so much, because I'm getting a bit more sustain out of these, and with my already thin-sounding Tele, it makes a slight difference. The milling on the topside is a little rough on close inspection, but the main issue I had is with the slightly sharp edges on the top corners. It's not an issue with 1st through 5th strings, but where it meets the meat of my right palm at the 6th (lowest) string, it chafed quite a bit. I'm glad that I noticed it before installing them, though. I was able to take a smooth rat-tail file and just break the edges for comfort.Overall, these are quality saddles. They installed easily (as expected), and the height/intonation setup was a breeze. *Note: an Allen wrench is included in the kit for height adjustment.

[2021-07-30: Seller provided replacement saddles of the correct size. Updated review for product experience now that I’m actually able to use them, along with great customer service.]I installed these on an American HSS Strat with a standard “Vintage Synchronized” tremolo bridge, single coil neck/middle pick-ups, along with two humbuckers.Although the product description lists the 10.8mm version as “standard” width, they’re in fact too wide to fit into this particular bridge. However, the 10.5mm saddles fit perfectly. In order to avoid this pitfall, I highly recommend you ignore those descriptions and precisely check the width of your current saddles using calipers for yourself before ordering.That aside, the materials and workmanship of these saddles are both outstanding. The milling is very fine, and black screws are sharp-looking in contrast with the stainless steel. In addition, the intonation screw springs are both longer and heftier than stock.Of course, sound is of utmost importance. I had previously installed the brass version of this product which boosted attack and brightness, while there isn’t much difference between these and the stock saddles tone-wise. However, their main advantage remains increased mass, which enhances floating bridge stability. This helps keep the guitar in-tune when using the tremolo, a common problem with these types of bridges.In the end, this is a quality product, at a very affordable asking price.

These replaced some Wilkinson vintage tremolo saddles. I'm not a featherlight picker, sometimes I am but most of the time I am hammering away at my strings!The Vintage saddles just didn't cut it as I would notice my strings sliding around. Spending some time to center them on the saddle as much as possible, i gave up and wanted modern, comfortable, guided style saddles that also was rounded for the strings. These ended up being the ones!Very comfortable and very easy to put on. Downside was having to reuse the original springs and screws that came with the Wilkinson trem as the ones Kaish provides are too long and i will eventually bring the dremel out to cit them to close length with the originals. Too long in fact that they block the string openings!. The Hex screw adjusters are pretty standard with these and i never liked them no matter what brand or style of bridge. After setup and getting the radius down i plan on trimming and sanding them enought to where they feel good and are not cutting into my palm. I really appreciate the extra length on the height adjustments screws. would recommend the newer upgraded versions, i went for the older versions and they are performing well....Oh and Tuning stability is great, intonation is easy! probably one of the biggest reasons i do like some of the older design bridges by having the screws very easy access when needing to adjust things on the fly.If Kaish can come out with a solid Pro edge 3 tremelo replacement for ibanez or something to put on any guitar would be a dream!

These inexpensive bridge saddles vastly improved the sound of my mexi strat.

I wasn't really expecting too much from these at the price but how wrong I was, very well made with no sharp edges and they have made a slight difference to the tone of my guitar, it has a clearer quality and a bit more sustain than I had from the alloy ones that came fitted originally, definitely worth more than they cost and I'd have no hesitation in recommending them

Good quality saddles. Really enhanced my re-finished Squier Standard Telecaster
