The brass version of the InTune system is about as close as you'll get to a traditional Tele® saddle with intonation correction - beautifully made, plenty of meat on the bones, and absolutely fantastic tone. Worth nothing that the middle saddle will be the reverse of the 2 outside saddles, but Gotoh have got you covered! Simply spin the saddle round, and the "reverse" stagger is on the back side of the saddle.
Designed for a Vintage Telecaster® Bridge and a great part to put that finishing touch on your Tele®. First introduced in the early 50's , where most ended up as portable ashtrays for the gigging musician, the early models had a distinctive solder drop or solder mark on the inner face due the fact that a wire was attached during the electro-plating process. The later models have no such mark because the plating process moved onto specially designed racks.
These are stainless steel saddles, built specifically for the Gotoh® GTC201 and 202, as well as the Fender® "conversion" bridges (those which looks like modern bridges, with flat plates and 6 saddles, but mount onto 4 mounting holes on the body where the strings come through behind those holes)
We're supplying these singly as well as in sets, purely because we know that they're not the cheapest parts in the world, so if you've got a WT3 kicking about thats in need of a little loving care, this is a great way to get it up and running again.
Now these are a favourite in the office – they are, for all intents and purposes, completely smooth saddles, complete with those all-important slot head height screws, all full sized, absolutely no loss of mass, so no arguments against the tone – but the intonation screws have been drilled on a slant to match that compensation you’d get on the intonation correction saddles.
Suitable for a Telecaster® or Similar with 3 Saddles
Just like with the SW-3s, we're selling these saddles singly - we know that they're not the cheapest things in the world, and if you just need to get a Gotoh bridge up and running again, this is a fantastic way to do it with the minimum of expense.
A great way to get better intonation on your Vintage Telecaster® without losing too much of the look.
Multi-Groove saddles, in the style used in the 1960s, made from brass with slot head height adjustment screws.
The grand-daddy of all Saddles, and for most folks, unparalleled when it comes to tone when you’re talking Tele®! Full sized brass barrels, slot head height screws, just beautiful bits of kit.
Single Groove saddles, ideal for improving string stability at the bridge. Made from brass with Hex head height adjustment screws.
Ferrules are a fairly basic piece of hardware once you look into them; they are simply small metal “cups” which hold the ball end of the string in place as it is fed through the back of the guitar.
The advantages compared to a “string though top” setup are pretty wide ranging, but the main attraction is that they allow the strings movement to resonate more efficiently through the wood of the guitars body, giving a much more honest tone to the sound, really emphasising that classic Tele® snap and twang that has proven so popular in recent decades.
Suitable for a Telecaster® and Hardtail Bridges
A standard Telecaster® saddle, an ideal replacement for nearly all Vintage bridges in need of a little TLC. The groove offers extra stability for the string to avoid it snagging and moving on contact.
Please note, these are not official Fender® parts.
The Knarled Edge ferrules turn up fairly often on guitar made in the far east rather then in the USA (which seem to use the Smooth edged version with more regularity) - exactly the same principle but the knarlled edge have "teeth" around the barrel section to help them grip the body more efficiently.
Beautiful modern style saddles built from cast brass Available in 56.4mm and 52.38mm
These "bullet" ferrules are a slight departure from the original version of the 50s and 60s. They initially debuted as a companion part to a set of strings in the mid 70s and more commonly seen on hard tails.
Available in Gold, Chrome and Black, Recessed Phillips Head .A perfect replacement for most bridge screws.
Available in Gold, Chrome and Black, Recessed Phillips Head .A bit of an odd ball part, we generally find their great for hard tail bridges, where the full thread offers a tight lock without having to compromise for the movement of a trem unit.
Slightly larger then the Ferrules seen on guitars from the USA, Korea and China - with a diameter of 9.5mm, a length of 9.5mm and lacking the characteristic lip of "normal" ferrules - they turn up fairly often on Japanese Fender® Telecaster® guitars, but in all likelihood turn up on other makes and models too.
