I believe we touched on this before, but I'm not going to dig around for it.

I picked up my Peavey Triple Single yesterday after not playing it for awhile and recalled I wanted to change the saddle.

Currently it has the style in the link, but the saddles are cheap metal that I believe do little to enhance tone.

I am thinking of going with brass

or maybe this so I have more flexible individual string adjustment.

I'm not getting the action to set where I want and I'm not sure is the individual saddles might help eliminate that problem.

Thoughts?

The 3-saddle bridges mainly affect the intonation. Apparently that's part of the "tele tone".
