Highwood Strat Saddles - Gloss, set of 6 Saddles
HG Contoured Vintage Guitar Saddles TM
better known as "Highwood Strat Saddles"!
Contoured you say? That's right. Meaning; without the screws sticking out the top of the Saddles. Our innovative Saddles are made from exceptional quality Steel and are nickel coated directly onto the steel body to provide you with pure vintage tone!
HG Contoured Vintage Guitar Saddles have more mass giving you longer sustain, clearer note separation and definition, improved harmonic response and touch sensitivity. These smooth feeling Saddles still retain a lovely vintage look.
Each HG Saddle set comes with stainless steel intonation and height adjustment screws and springs. An allen wrench is also included.
Please note: our Saddles are hardened, but not as much as some other brands. We have noticed that extremely hardened Saddles can change the tone of your guitar, sometimes making your guitar sound 'pingy'. That's because they add upper mid and high to your tone. We believe Leo got it pretty right.
Features:
- No more handpalm injuries (no screws sticking out)
- Better sustain
- Quicker attack
- Vintage look
- Nickel plated, Gloss or Reliced
- Playing free, without the (unconsciously) fear of injuries
Measuring & width recognition:

Please note.
It is important to be aware that some guitars do not have the correct size Saddles. You can see this when there are gaps between the 6 Saddles. If this is the case, you should check their width as described. Digital caliper also vary a little, so 10.4mm also fits the 10.5mm type.Also:
If the intonation screw hole is not in the center of your current Saddles then our HG Contoured Vintage Guitar Saddles are not compatible.
