Strat steel saddles

Corvus

Anyone used any less-flash ones and found them OK, as in not grooving/wearing? Like Axesrus or similar.

I'm thinking there's a 'zing' off my Callahan ones which is fine, nice even, on cleans, but with some dirt flavours it brings an 'edge' thing that's fairly bloody horrible.
I see Gotoh do some but about 3x the price of the Axesrus-level ones.

Could go back to the block saddles but I'd like to try some non s/s bent ones, just don't like the look of the cast ones much.

I've a set of the Axesrus ones that are reasonable although one had a really badly threaded intonation screw hole.

I found the same thing with my Callahan saddles, I went back to the blocks as they both sounded and felt better to me.

Thanks chaps I'll try a set then and can always go to the blocks if it doesn't work out.

Check out the Highwood saddles. I was unsure due to them having notches, but they are totally brilliant. Need to make sure you have good string alignment already, otherwise you won't have any scope to move strings slightly, e.g. if high E close to edge of fretboard.

Thanks, good shout there.
