new Pure Vintage 58 Tele saddle day!

[angry tele]

I put these on my Squier CVC.
they replaced CJ Tooling 5/16ths cold roll steel saddles.
nothing wrong with the CJ saddles i just dont like
compensated anymore. Plus they are huge, accurate for early broadcasters,
where these are accurate for late 50s teles (the CVC is a late customRI because
it has a 5 hole guard. fender switched to 8 hole/3 ply by 59 but there were some 5 hole 3-plys for half a year or so)
.The new ones are chrome plated steel, the old ones were plain steel and rust.

Many a fine tune played on uncompensated saddles.

Speaking of saddles...

...these are my new riding jeans.


Just kidding. That's a girls ass, just like you first thought.

[xStonr]

Nice, but the tone is in the rust.

Nice, but the tone is in the rust.

Ah, but tone is also in the chrome.
It may seem like a contradiction, but that's what mojo is all about.

Mebbe it's just me, but spending money on saddles based on the cutting edge of 1950s technology seems strange. Me? I prefer these:

compensated, schmopensated i always say
tone is in the historically accurate

And a graphite neck...

And a graphite neck...

a neck made out of pencil lead? that seems like a bad idea.

 

[GilmourD]

Nice. So a bit more top end and high mids to the tone?

Whatcha doing with the old saddles?

Makes the "notes" ring out.
