The PN-8163-00 is a ghost-loaded set of Tele three-piece barrel saddles.

Each saddle has built-in IOS intonation compensations.

These saddles will work with any of our ghost guitar preamp kits.

* Because of the relative proximity of pickups together within each saddle (two strings per saddle), triggering issues using the Hexa-phonic preamp for midi applications may occur.

We recommend using this style of saddle for Acousti-phonic (acoustic guitar sounds from your electric guitar) applications only.

What are the String Saver and TUSQ Materials in Saddles?

String Saver Saddles

String Saver saddles are made with a unique combination of materials made to enhance tone and dramatically reduce string breakage. Each saddle is permanently lubricated.

Lubrication formula in String Savers eases the grip between the saddle and string, spreading the stress over a greater portion of the string, just enough to drastically reduce string breakage.

Our patented String Saver Originals are made entirely of our String Saver material and give you a very balanced tone across the spectrum. People who were breaking one or two strings a night have contacted us after using String Savers and are amazed that they go weeks and months without breaking a string!

String Saver Classics are made with an extremely high quality steel saddle with our patented String Saver material inserted in the string ramp. String Saver Classics preserve the classic look of a metal saddles while freeing you from the problem of breaking strings.

TUSQ Saddles

TUSQ Saddles have a rich tone without the inconsistency found in ivory, bone, and other natural materials. Bone and ivory have hard and soft spots (grain) throughout each piece, hampering the consistent transfer of vibrations to the guitar top. TUSQ saddles are designed to transfer the right frequencies more efficiently from the string to the guitar body.

    Great saddles, great acoustic tones!

    I have Ghost saddles on four (soon to be five) guitars to access convincing acoustic guitar tone from electric guitars on the fly, mostly in a musical theater pit band setting, along with live club dates with rock and country cover bands. With stage square footage often limited and having to go from electric to acoustic in the space of a couple of measures, switching instruments is just not practical. With the Ghosts, I flip a miniswitch and ta-da! <jazz hands>

    I have guitars with piezo saddles by Graph Tech Ghost, Fishman, and Brenner with the Ghost saddles producing the most convincing "acoustic" tone out of the three, even without any compression or EQ. Highly recommended!
