I ordered the 10.5mm brass saddles to replace the factory saddles on my Squier Bullet Telecaster. You can see from the picture that they're basically the same size and shape as the originals, but the brass ones are a bit heavier and have a high-quality feel to them.My only issue, and the reason for the four stars instead of five, was the grub screws. They put short screws on two of the saddles for the 1st and 6th strings but much longer screws on the others. If you're palm muting, they would definitely bite into your hand. Luckily I had some shorter screws on hand. You can see in the picture the difference between the original and the shorter ones, which are metric M3x8mm. With the action adjusted, the shorter screws are nicely counter sunk.Apart from that, the brass saddles were easy to install and they changed the tone of the guitar more than I though they would. They took out some of the biting sharpness so it rings a little rounder and fuller. I don't know if it's because of the brass or just that they're machined better than the cheap chrome factory ones. Either way, I think it was a simple and worthwhile mod.

I don’t know, they fit nice, but I’m not done with the guitar, so haven’t tried them yet

Honestly I didn't really expect much. The screws for adjusting the action were really sharp and that was the biggest breaking point for me. Also it said 10.5mm but it was a little bigger then that.

Heavy, nicely milled, easy install.Increase in resonance on semi hollow guitars. Currently side by side with titanium saddles.

I bought a stainless steel saddle set and this brass one both are excellent and will give you great fundamental tone, the precision they were cut in is like watchmaker precision, and materials are top notch. I bought both a brass and stainless steel set and mix them using stainless steel saddles on low E,A, and D, and brass saddles on the high E, B,And G, and the results are phenomenal. Stainless steel is bright and puncy of which works great with lie strings by giving them a punchy bass that is well defined, and the brass saddles have a presrnce, smooth highs and growly snarling mid range I. This simple mod has transformed my squier sonic esquire into a serious tonal beast ill probably loon into aluminum saddles ss well, but these saddles are close to perfection and an amazing bang for the buck and can transform your guitars fundamental tonality in a very good and dramatic way . You should try this if you haven't already, I'll bet you wont be disappointed, and believe me when I say if you want to alter or change your guitars character sound this is the definite way to go 😁 and literally will hBe the best way to change your tonality along with changing yt guitars pickups. Definitely Worth looking ontopickups

Machining is clean, uniform and precise. Measure your distance between strings, my tele had alloy saddles that were 10.8 so get the right size for your guitar. I think brass looks cool on the chrome bridge and if it does help sound and sustain that would be nice and a plus. But overall i liked my barrel tele saddles more in brass so i assume these will do the same. 5 stars for quality. Wish edges were a little rounded and softwr though.

These are great and very well made. The only downside is the adjustment screws are too long and dig into your hand. The brass is great.

I was looking for some replacement saddles for a Fender Esquire project. I had a Fender vintage modern style bridge but wanted brass saddles. I came across the KAISH solid brass saddles; they weren't expensive so I took a chance and ordered a set. I was pleasantly surprised when they arrived and discovered that they were very well machined; the quality was excellent!Once installed and with the guitar strung up and plugged in, I was very pleased with the combination of the brass saddles and the pickup I chose! Amazing tone!I highly recommend these replacement saddles; they are a bargain!

I installed these on my Ibanez AZES31 hard tail Strat copy. The brass saddles looked well machined and finished. There was no problem in the threads for any saddle. Only negative I would say is that the length of the screws could be longer. Luckily the stock saddle screws were longer and same dimensions.The brass definitely cut down the shrillness smf treble response. Can hear a broader spectrum of sound.

These bridge saddles have transformed my guitar, it is keeping better tune, and no fret buz. These were easy to install, and look amazing.
