Graph Tech Bridge Saddles?

[rspst14]

Hey guys, anyone have a set of these on one of their guitars? I'm thinking of getting a Tone Pros Tuneomatic bridge with a set of Graph Tech saddles, but most of the reviews I've seen are from people who have them on Fender-style guitars. Are there any advantages to graphite saddles besides less string breakage? How do they affect the tone compared to the stock saddles? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello buddy...Ryan,I have them on my Gibson SG and I almost had to put them on to keep from constantly breaking strings right at the bridge....They work great but they will take a bit of your snap and highend out of your tone..It's not drastic but I noticed it...If your guitar is just a bit bright to you sometimes,like my SG was,these saddles would be perfect...You could also try a string set that brings back the brightness a bit...I used to use DR Pure Blues on my SG and after the saddles were replaced,I changed to D'Addario EXL strings to get the snap back...The saddles will have to be correctly notched also...They work great and I Like the looks of them..I have never broken another string at the bridge since I've switched over and it's been like 4 years or better...I'll send you a picture of my SG's bridge if you like so you can see how they look..
