What's the difference between these floyd saddles?

[Snoogles]

besides the Guitarpartsresource being genuine schaller floyd, and the stew mac being stew mac saddles?

the top left saddle is 17.99 for one

while an entire set from stew mac is 19.98

IDK the stew macs have good reviews. I'd get the stew mac and save $$$.

Well, the first ones are genuine Schaller (made in Germany) steel replacement saddles as found on the Original Floyd Rose (OFR).

The set from Stew Mac consists of your typical die-cast zinc saddles as found on most licensed and OFR knock-off trems.

If I had an OFR, I'd definitely go for the first one if I only needed one or two saddles. If I needed a complete set or was replacing parts on a licensed trem, I'd buy the second without hesitation.

To add some food for thought....

I would without a doubt go for graph tech floyd saddles.

They are amaze-balls

that's what i have on my floyd now. unfortunately, this is causing intonation, and fine-tuning problems (specifically, some of the saddles are backed up as much as possible, even after re-locating the pivot posts rearward about 1/8 inch):




graphtech says they can be ground down

Bummer....

Are they positioned in the right order as per the numbers under each saddle?

I added mine on a Schaller Floyd and they luckily fit perfectly.

Sorry dude :-(

I needed a few saddles for an old frozen up Schaller Floyd, and got the die cast Stew Mac ones- no complaints here
