Highlights
Quality
These are the best quality saddles i have ever used.
The gotoh brass saddles are rich sounding, they’re a bit thicker and compensated, so the overtones it produced are perfect for ... Read More
It made my cheap sounding, constantly out of tune tele build into something good.
Never having tried this idea before, i had no idea how close the design could get me to the 6 saddle result.
Price
There is a reason they cost 3x $$ of generic compensated tuners.
Shipping
Reasonably priced and delivery was fast enough.
They've yet to refund my two day shipping, which is basically theft.
Packaging/appearance
Easy to install and setup - height screws a a little sharp on the top and need to touch up - brass tone and tuning sings beauti... Read More
I am suspicious of nonfactory packaging, especially when paying top dollar for a top end product from a prestigious manufacture... Read More
There was no manufacturer packaging or any indication of who the manufacturer actually is - these could have been manufactured by anybody.
The items i received are very high quality and appear to be genuine gotoh items, despite the absence of manufacturer packaging.
Competitiveness
They intonate better than the other brands i have tried, and they have the look i like.
Sure there’s other brands out there who make similar products.
But gotoh has nice round edges on their brass compared to another brass saddle maker that does flatter cuts on their compensated saddles.
Otherwise these saddles are great and comparable to my rutters saddles which cost 4 times the price.

My tele kit build didnt come with throughbody holes and the toploader 6saddle individual saddles idea was totally unworkable thanks to strings pulling the saddles onto their sides so that the regulating pegs spun freely all day long

Offset to make sure you get the intonation correct

Saddles felt like great quality after installing it on my vintera telecaster i felt like it took away too much of the bass and the treble
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
From an intonation stand point they were perfect just sounded like a lot of the meat of the sound was gone
