I was having an issue with the 2nd string (B) 'banjoing' on the stock brass saddle of my Fender American Vantage 52 Tele. The strings have worn grooves into the stock saddles and the B string is touching the height adjustment screw causing a horrible buzzing sound, so I bought some Glendale replacements and fitted them last night.
I'm very impressed, they are not cheap but they fit really nicely, are intonated and the height adjustment screws are flush or just below the saddle so no ripped flesh when palm muting. The strings naturally sit away from the height adjustment screws and they even come with a coupe of extra shorter height adjustment screws for the outside strings, as on a 7.25" radius neck they are set quite a bit lower than the inner saddle and the fitted screws stick out a little. That's a really nice touch.
How long with they last? Will they get grooves like the stock saddles? I don't know but this AV52 Tele has fast become my favourite of my 3 electrics and sounds glorious through my Morgan PR12. I was getting ready to write if off and move it on a few weeks ago, but now am really loving it. It's getting more play time than my R8 and CS Strat.
