Anyone use graphtech saddles?

[lock-ny]

Anyone ever try the black plastic graphtec saddles on their guitars? how did they affect the tone? for better or worse?

i tried them.........and they work very well........... so i left them on for quite a while. a few months later...i put the original saddles back in & liked the tone better though.

Yes, i have them on my AL at the moment !! They are amazing !! You can get them with a chrome finish now , which blends in with the chrome hardware a bit better !

yeah the EBMM saddles seem to have a tone all of their own and it seems that when you replace them it never sounds right!!


I personally think the EB ones are just as good anyways....but they dont look as look as the black ones

I have them on my Morse- actually have the whole Graph Tech bridge (for the piezo). I like the sound a lot, but not quite as "zingy" as the stock ones.

 

[tommyindelaware]

what frequency is zingy ???????

 

[beej]

It's a wee bit higher than "ringy", of course

As the website states, you really only want them for tuning problems or string breakage. I've used them on several guitars and didn't notice any real difference in tone, but they did fix the string breaking problem.

I have them on one of my guitars, and I swear I think they thin the tone out a little....anyone else notice this?
I haven't broken a string with them and seems to stay in tune very well...
by the way, anyone want to buy a strat with graph-tech saddles? (lol)

I have them on all my guitars. I was having terrible problems with breaking strings and these saddles solved the problem straight away. I can't say that I noticed any change in the sound at all using the black ones. The Ferraglide ones did make the guitar sound a bit weird to my ears, but no problems with the standard issue Graphtec's!

I have them on my axis sport,and sil/sp,and have had no problems with broken strings..i did before the mod,and the sound is still classic EB.

I have them on my Silo Sp. The stock ones really tore up my palm, which floats right above the bridge. The graphtechs sound a little warmer and don't rip any skin off now.

I had some on a silo special, I found they warmed it up too much.
