The PS-8002-00 is a perfect upgrade for Strat or Tele style guitar with the Elite style saddles. These saddles have open backs making it perfect for B-Bender style guitar or bridges that have back loaded strings. They have an offset intonation screw and a 2 1/16" string spacing.

Included with the set is an extra set of slightly longer intonation screws to be used with a Telecaster.

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.

    1983 Strat Elite saddles

    I recently had the misfortune to have a saddle on my 1983 Fender Stratocaster Elite break whilst changing the strings. The bridge (FreeFlyte tremolo) and saddles on this model are different to all other Strats, and this model was only produced from 1983 to 1987. After checking with local Fender stockists and after market suppliers here in Australia it was apparent that no-one stocked these saddles, and Fender no longer produce them. Eventually I found Graphtech, who make replacement saddles for this guitar, and ordered them. When they arrived I fitted them and carried a full setup, ie truss rod adjustment, action, intonation and pick-up balance. These saddles are different to the original, being made of different material. and they make a difference. There is noticeably more sustain and the sound seems brighter than with the old saddles, but bear in mind it was at least 12mths since the last time I gave her a full setup. I play a pretty high gain sound and Friedman Little Sister and BE 50, so the extra sustain and brightness are really noticeable. I am VERY happy with these new saddles.

    Stratocaster Elite saddle repair

    I fitted these today as replacements of the original saddles on my 1983 Stratocaster Elite following the failure of one saddle. They set up easily, tuned up well and seem to sound really good, nice and bright with plenty of mids.

    Quality

    A perfect fit for my fairly obscure Telecaster bridge. The guitar has a new lease of life and now sounds better than it did with the original saddles. Highly recommended. Many thanks.
