New Tele Compensated Brass Saddles Day

[MetalManiac]

Been using the cheapo Wilkinson brass compensated Saddles that cost about 2/3rds less. I like that these Gotohs have a notch so the strings don't slide all over the place. Plus it's got to be high quality brass from Japan. These have been kind of hard to find, especially at this price- 29.95. Thinking about all Jollys beuatiful Tele bodies- dude, it aint gonna be cheap to outfit those with quality hardware and pickups! Wilkinson is just OK..but the good stuff- whew, its very costly. ;

Hey Jerry, got inspired did a search and scored a set locally with postage for about $30 USD, $37 AUS dollars.
Thank you dear sir, I owe you a beer or two for the heads up.

Yep ive got that Gotoh compensated bridge on my tele. The plate is real nice too.
Actually prefer it over the Joe Barden one cos its got more twang and brightness and i like the slots in the saddles too.

Well worth the cost for the improvement. I have the standard Stew Mac models on the one Tele that needed it, work great! I don't know how they'd compare to yours, though.
