Saddle Up

The day after Frank's first gig the Graphtech Ferraglide saddles finally arrived - again claiming to be "the single most important upgrade for your guitar"(!). The saddles are stainless steel but have a graphite-like insert over which the string rests. They cost £39. Like the Graphtech nut I installed, the inserts are self lubricating to help stabalise tuning and reduce string breakage. The combination of Sperzel tuners, Graphtech nut and saddles, and flush bridge mean this guitar stays in tune better than any other I've played. The pictures below show the before and after with the original saddles and the new Ferraglides. Only the pickups left to change now.....
