Go for Graphtech saddles.
Fender saddles are known for loose screws and buzzing noises.
Also there is a product called Locktite, put some on your height
adjusment screws.

Good luck,

Did you read the rest of this guy's posts? There is no problem with his saddles (or any Fender saddles, while we're on it), Graphtech's won't fix this guy's problem, and he doesn't need to buy anything: he needs to learn some basic stuff about how his guitar works. He doesn't even know what "adjustable bridge" means, and has probably already broken a spring or something (he was goofing with the trem when it made a huge popping sound and went horribly out of tune).

Fender Strat,, you've got some studyin' up to do.
:lol: I did break a string im not new at guitar ive been playin guitar for 5 yrs.I just didnt know any thing about the bridge.Ive never owned a fender I got yesterday.

You're point's taken, I know that when I first got on this forum I had questions regarding the bridge, springs, pups, necks, etc. And some of the posters to this thread were extremely helpful in answering my questions (you can see by the # of my posts I'm relatively new here). However it's always advisable to do a search on a topic through threads prior to posting to see if a topic's been addressed - at least recently. The subject of this thread has been.

Nobody did knock the guy but some of these questions aren't easy
to answer if you don't have a basic understanding of the guitar.
The forum members are always willing to give help to someone but
knowing the names of the parts on the guitar makes it a lot easier.
You can learn a lot reading for only one hour.

And reading the threads and learning the acronyms and language. I still come across shorthand that'll throw me for a loop. :wink:
