Hey, I'm actually planning on trying these out...

http://www.callahamguitars.com/brdge_T.htm

I've never tried them, personally, but I've heard lots of people around my way just RAVE about these guys, and everything they say on the site makes sense to me. SO, we'll see, so let me know what everybody thinks.

Out of all the compensated saddles I went though, I definitely would have to recommend Glendale. They have very near perfect intonation and sound great as well. I just personal didn't like the Wilkinsons and couldn't quite get intonation right on them. I also spent to many years on music theory and had a nazi of a music teacher who stressed perfect pitch and tuning so I hear a bit pickier than most. So long story short, my advice: pick up a set of Glendale's (whichever set suits your liking).

I take it back about wilkinson. I got a set today £7.50 the intonations a load better as is the tone. Twangy but far softer than with the fender saddles. More comfortable too.

He's alright our Trev. Top bloke

music123.com had a good article on vintage bridge intonation with some nifty tricks if your not a slave to the tuner. I'm putting wilkonson's on both the tele's i'm building. i like their design best of any i've seen
