Description
A compensated saddle set from Joe Barden Engineering, built for vintage-spec Telecasters. Like other compensated saddle designs, the shaped profile improves intonation accuracy across the fretboard compared to a standard straight-barrel saddle — but Joe Barden's saddles are reversible, with left and right sides identical, giving you flexibility in how you install them.
Fitment note: built for 2-3/16" string spacing, correct for vintage-style Telecasters. American Standard Teles typically use narrower spacing — confirm your bridge's spec before ordering, since this set is not interchangeable with American Standard spacing.
Benefits:
- Improved intonation accuracy over standard straight saddles
- Reversible design — left and right saddles are identical, simplifying installation
- Complete kit with screws and springs included
Features:
- Set of 3 saddles
- Brass construction
- Includes intonation screws and springs
- String spacing: 2-3/16" (55.5mm)
