A common drawback of standard pressed saddles is that the set screws protrude.
This can cause pain or injury to the side of your hand when palm muting or during strumming.
Palm muting becomes difficult, to say the least.
Furthermore, it can snag on clothing, and when storing the guitar, the snagging can cause friction inside the case, leading to wear and tear on the case lining and shortening its lifespan.
Be liberated from such stress!
The appearance is also very similar to vintage models, with virtually no change.
Of course, the material is steel that is attracted to magnets,
and it is nickel-plated.
The saddle center is recessed, which prevents the strings from moving on the saddle, contributing to stable tuning and pitch accuracy.
Additionally, the wider string holes make strings less likely to break.
Recommended for those who want to maintain a vintage-like appearance and sound while improving playability.
Daily Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. For mesh areas, use diluted mild detergent and a soft brush.
Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded place after cleaning. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can cause fading and glue deterioration.
Storage: Stuff with paper to maintain shape when not in use. Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent mold. Rotate between multiple pairs to extend lifespan.
Usage Notes: Designed for basketball. Not recommended for hiking, long-distance running, or other specialized sports where different performance features are required.
