UPgarde to these SOON as i can...There worth the money...I need as much sustain as i can get out of this guitar. And these REALLY are nice to have.

Metal saddles have a pronounced 2 KHz treble spike that dominates the tonal spectrum. String Saver Originals have a more balanced tone with sizzling highs, full mids, and big open lows. You will also notice an increase in sustain by up to 25% over brass saddles and 15% over steel.

· Reduces string breakage
· Increases sustain
· Improves midrange depth
· Super lubricating
· Improves tuning
· Corrosion resistant

And that fact that the money to get this done was from part of my Ebay sales. So it ALL comes from Fleamarket buying and selling. I did this for years. IM BACK!
HAPPY project.
