Great review of KTS' Tele saddles on iheartguitarblog.com:
I installed and intonated my new Telecaster saddles within about 30 minutes. It was as easy as removing the old saddles and screwing the new ones in. Itfs got to be the easiest tone-enhancing mod Ifve ever performed.
So is there a noticeable difference?
You betchya! Although Ifve always loved my Tele for its vibe and solid, woody tone, I certainly didnft love its lack of sustain or detail. Before the upgrade, notes seemed to suddenly swell up after the initial attack, then rapidly fade away. Ifd just learned to live with it, and adjusted my expectations of the guitar accordingly. After the upgrade though, the guitar took on a whole new character. It acquired sharper treble, tighter bass, and a warm, bright upper midrange. More >>>

"My first impressions are: Longer sustain, Greater accuracy, Intonation is sharper, Flexibility is greater without change.
