How do the String Saver saddle inserts work?
Graph Tech has found that a slotted metal saddle can stress a vibrating string at a specific point, resulting in metal fatigue and eventual string breakage. The high-density polymer insert on a String Saver Classics saddle is impregnated with Teflon, 500% more slippery than graphite. Non-corroding self-lubricating action eases and spreads the stress just enough to drastically reduce string breakage, no matter how hard you play.

String Saver Classics saddles have been factory-installed by Fender and Tom Anderson Guitars.

Important: Measure your guitar's bridge saddles before ordering!

Definite Improvement over Stock

I got a set of these to put on my "prized" Mexi-Strat. I have some more expensive guitars, but this old Mexican was my first Strat and it's my favorite.

The String Savers are easy to install and definitely add sustain. Not only do the notes ring out longer, but the note sustained is fuller and more harmonic. This guitar always stayed in tune pretty well, but it's definitely better now. I don't use the tremolo much, but I do use it and I have no problems keeping in tune. Also they don't look bad. (NOTE: I also added a Tusq Nut at the same time I added the string savers, so the combination could contribute to sustain.)

Intonation was pretty easy. I followed the steps in Dan Erlwine's "Guitar Player Repair Guide" and it was pretty simple.

All in all, a relatively inexpensive, non-invasive mod that has greatly improved the tone of this particular instrument.

First Impressions

I bought these for my Mexican-made Standard Tele that I just suped up. I haven't used them a lot but I am hoping that they do indeed save my strings. The only gripe I have is that the longer intonation screws are very long, to the point where they interfere with stringing, but hopefully I won't be doing much of that. 4 stars for now.

Graphtech Saddles for Telecaster

Nice quality, drop in with absolutely no problems, and work as advertised. Very nicely made - infinitely better than the Fender stock saddles!
