The brass experience...

The default Highway1 Telecaster string saddles aren't bad, I just want to try some brass units & do away with those action adjustment screws which are too protrusive for the good of anyone's picking hand.

So they made way for a brass set (GOTOH) & the added zing is bliss- not recommended for dweebs who can't handle bright top end responses. I don't mind added clarity, I can effectively tame them down via EQ but having a muddy tone to start with & trying to inject some sizzle in the mix is unnecessary labour & quite ineffective too.

Do note:
  • the Gotoh saddle length are naroower so they don't come into contact with each other as this can induce buzzing at this end if your instrument (& sometimes you wonder where that darn buzzing's from...)
  • the action adjustment screws are much shorter, they don't stab your picking hand palm
