    No need to be sorry, but if you haven't heard I've been living in a cave the last few years. I get on here and people talk about product and use terminology I never heard of, but that's why I'm here - to learn and be motivated. Oh, and have fun.:

    I've always thought I would leave my Nash bone stock but I could be persuaded.

    Just a matter of personal preference, really. I always liked that classic & distinctive Tele 3-saddle bridge look, and the brass saddles do give a slightly rounder tone to take a little harshness off the edge of the Tele twang, esp. on the bridge p'up. I went with compensated saddles specifically because of the potential intonation issue, and they seem to address it pretty well; not quite dead-solid-perfect intonation by tuner measurement, but certainly close enough by ear for my modest needs and the type of music I play. Heck, if it was good enough for titans like Roy Buchanan, James Burton, Albert Collins, Danny Gatton and countless others, it's good enough for the likes of me!
