BlueLesPaul2006 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Are the Graph Tech saddles worth the time and money? I would be putting them on my LP standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwhi2001 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I put a set on my Tele and got a slight improvement in tone/sustain. In future, if I was replacing saddles on a guitar I intended to keep, I would buy Graphteck. I wouldn't expect them to reduce string breakage much - unless your current saddles are faulty.

TWANG Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 They certainly reduce tuning problems..and most of the comments I hear concerning tone and sustain are either no change or improvement. I use graph tech on one guitar, and I'm putting tusq saddles on my sheri because I've never tried them before. TWANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scantron Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I have some on my 335 and it definitely cuts down on string breakage. The tone seems darker & punchier to me, and a tiny bit less sustain. I'm glad I have them and prefer the darker tone. I swapped them out once and immediately switched back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulkhead Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I like em - they definitely help with the guitar (Sheraton) stayin in tune. I use a capo quite a lot and had tuning problems before I fitted the saddles. Now there is no need to re-tune the guitar when I take the capo off, it stays in perfect tune - I also fitted a graph tech nut which also seems to help.

Thermionik Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 . I have Graph Tech String Saver sadles on my Sherry ('96 Samick), and second caulkhead (and scantron for that matter). Certainly worth the time and money..... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
