    Default Tele Style Saddles

    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".
