GraphtechPS-8000-F0 Electric Guitar String Saver Saddle

Excellent replacement saddles. These are for a wide spaced vintage strat bridge. 2-7/32. They also make a set for the narrow 2-1/8 string spacing. If you are having trouble with your high E breaking at the bridge, this should solve your problem. I replaced 2 Fender bridge saddles with these Graph Tech ones and have yet to snap a string at the bridge. Shop around as I have found these for as low as $32 per set.

They didn't fit in my Peavey Raptor Plus. Sad panda. :(

I was having an issue with string breakage on my SRV Stratocaster (there are gold plated versions of these, but I wasn't worried about that). I purchased these in hopes of stopping the breakage. They fit perfectly.This has not only solved the string breakage problem, but there is a distinct tone difference. It is not a huge difference, but it is there. The best way to describe it is that some of the "harshness" went away. It has a much more rounded tone that works very well for blues/rock.I HIGHLY recommend these.

I play a lota SRV and Matt Schofield type of blues, I mean a lot, and trust me, I break strings, i break the High E on a roughly 2-days-each manner.Saw Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Philip Sayce and Anthony from Texas Blues Alley put these saddles on their strats, so I thought I'd give it a shot and just a few days ago I bought them for my Fender John Cruz Masterbuilt 60s strat...now...Cons: I hate to say this, but I can't say that i like the tone these saddles produce, and to be dead honest, I can't say tonality wise these saddles made my original fender "tone" more fender or "professional"...truth is, these saddles provide a lower output somewhere from -1 to -3db when played in an amp, this is obvious enough to be noticed when you have both type of saddles installed. And when the strings are raked, all that steely feel and brightness from the original steel saddles is gone, it makes it sound like it lacks of...idk...something... maybe some customers like this kind of tone, but i really think it is a loss of the good part of Fendery, by that i mean It's more of a tad "dull" compared to the Fender ones and some of the good clean and good cold twang sorta definition disappears. Good advertisement they put on their products to describe the tone, they picked the best words and if you come to think of it from their point of view, all those words are rather accurate.Pros: THIS IS A String Saver, that's right! These saddles DO NOT break strings! It saves me time and money so i could focus on playing, I gotta thank Graphtech for this.With this product, you will have to sacrifice tone for stability, Graphtech says "once your ears get used to this tone, you'll hear more stuff", hope you know what that implies.Should you sacrifice stability for tone? I don't know, maybe I'll switch back to the original ones and just add some grease on them each time I break a string, but maybe i'll be too lazy, who knows...I guess NOTHING IS PERFECT.Ignore this comment if you have a different playing style though, because in the end, the tone is in your hands, no matter what saddles you're using.

Abit bigger than I expected but it's my fault for not checking which model I was buying. Just had to sand it down to fit.

On par with high end steel saddles for sustain, but with a (slightly) warmer/more rounded tone. Vastly superior to the zinc/pot-metal crap that comes on most guitars. Look very cool and very custom when paired with a chrome bridge.

Fantastic saddles! I don't know why I waited so long to try them. Just make sure you buy the ones you need. 2-1/16" spacing, or 2-3/16" spacing. Measure from E string to E string and that's what you need.

I have used several of these products in my guitar builds, and have always had excellent results.
