Forney Custom Telecaster compensated saddle set, solid Brass

Vintage 3 piece telecaster style solid brass compensated saddle set for standard 2-1/8" string spacing and right handed setup for use with Fender vintage style "ashtray" bridge as shown in the photo.  These saddles are precision CNC machined to specific offsets to get your intonation setup much closer to perfect.  These non-engraved saddles are for purist that prefer the traditional look of brass tele saddles.  The offsets on this saddle set are stamped on the inner faces of each saddle (see pic) so they can't be seen after installation.   Each increases the offset by .020"  (a little more than 1/64").  For the traditional 9,10, and 11 gauge (with Low E below .05") string setup, we've found the .10",.12",.10"  or 1,2,3 stamp set (previously 1,2,1 set same construction, just relabelled for easy identification)  is the best.  For 11 and 12 gauge with a low E bigger than .05 ask for the 2,2,3 set for more compensation on the E/A saddle.   Our saddles also feature a smaller machined string ramp, which helps keep the strings in place even under heavy bending.  The strings tend to slide on the standard round or long bevel saddles.  Step up your tele intonation game with these quality brass saddles.  Proudly made in the USA!!!

Set comes with 3 solid brass saddles 5/16" (.3125") in diameter and 53/64" (.82") long, 3x #4-40 x 1-1/4" intonation philips head screws, 3x tension springs, 6x #4-40 height adjustment set screws, and a .05" allen wrench to adjust the height screws.  NOTE: Included intonation screws are the length used on Fender vintage style "ashtray" bridges.  The modern longer tele bridge requires longer screws NOT provided.

Saddle orientation is as follows.  Saddles come pre-assembled and labelled in the packaging.  E/A has "1" stamp closest to A string,  D/G has "2" stamp closest to D string,  B/hi E has "3" stamp closest to B string.
