Are PRS Tremonti SE saddles made of brass ?

As far as I know, the PRS SE bridges are the same design, but the metals are not nice like the USA versions, which I believe are steel for the baseplates and brass for the saddles.

I'm 99% sure the stuff on the SE line is Zamak. I belive so because people complain about the bridges on the S2 being the same as the SE and often upgrade to the Mann stuff.
 



The brass roller saddles really bring this to life.
The stock SE zinc alloy saddles are pretty crappy by comparrison.
 
Where did you get them?

I've been swapping out the nut and the saddles to brass on most of my guitars, except. My Jazzmaster and my matte black S-type. Which are both getting Graph Tech black TUSQ or Proline graphite.

Thanks man. I use Amazon and Walmart for almost everything. If you told me I would be shopping at Walmart for guitar stuff, I would have laughed at you. But they've got almost everything.
 
Wow, those look great!

I've never had a problem with the stock Zamak (zinc-alloy) PRS saddles on the SE/S2/CE24 lines, but that seems like a decent upgrade for the price.

There are also complete machined brass trems available for $60-$70 that I've used to replace SE trems with good luck. Can't imagine ever spending "Mann-made" money on something like that.

Thats a big 10-4. Ebay has been my go to for 20 yrs, then reverb. Now its like i go to those 2 first and say wonder if this is on Amazon. Then yep more items & selection, better price and usually better shipping.
Some folks bash China stuff but alot of times they're your best hope.
They sell ESP Lynch guitars on Amazon. Just sayin.
