Ok I got a new set of American Series Saddles for my Tele because the other ones were throwing of the intonation. Well I didn't realize the screws and springs are diffrent sizes my face ---> D: I never touched saddles before so I didn't know about this. Well the new set had all the parts ,but not together. Does anyone off the top of there head know how these screws/springs go?

These are the saddles: http://www.guitarcenter.com/Fender-Set- ... 1130044.gc

Don't understand your question. Those are the intonation screws and springs. They go just like the photo shows. Look at your old saddles as they are mounted in the bridge plate.

I had to buy a new set of the saddles (the ones provided in the link)they are the same exact ones that came on my bridge plate before. I took the old saddles off from the bridge plate without measuring the saddles length or checking what size the springs were. The new set wasn't assembled and the screws/springs are all different sizes just like the old set. I have no Idea of how they go back on.

Here's a link to the service diagrams for the American Series Tele:

http://support.fender.com/service_diagrams/telecaster/011-8502A_SISD.pdf

It shows that the the low strings get one set of screws/springs and the high strings get a different set.

I would assume if you have 3 shorter and 3 longer that you would use the 3 shorter screws/springs on the low E, A, and D use the 3 longer screws/sorings on the G, B and high E.

Hope that helps.

I don't believe that the OP knows how to intonate a guitar. In his first post he said:

"Ok I got a new set of American Series Saddles for my Tele because the other ones were throwing of the intonation."

In his second post he said: "I had to buy a new set of the saddles (the ones provided in the link)they are the same exact ones that came on my bridge plate before."

Replacing a set of saddles with a new set of identical saddles won't result in a miraculous improvement in intonation. If the new saddles are identical to the old ones, the old saddles had to be defective (the OP makes no mention of that), or the OP doesn't understand how to intonate a guitar.

Yes the saddles were defective because they were damaged from a previous owner that's why they needed replacing.
