What's so good about them?
They are not 'so good', mind you. They just serve their purpose- to ensure smooth contact between the strings & the saddle.
How much?
$40 per set, available @ Davis GMC
Does it kill tone?
I don't hear any tone deterioration, my Strat still sound as snappy as ever. However if you love your default pickups but wish for a less protruding treble end, the graphite helps.

Hehe,well someone have been shoppin. .hehe btw sub i read in some mag tis stuff can save your strings to last longer.
shopping? me? he he... least likely. what i am doing now is going back to the stuff that works. in this case, the Graphtech saddles worked for me, as documented here: http://theguitaraddict.blogspot.com/2009/06/graphite-saddles.html
so i went back to something that works to remind me that the stuff i tried in the past should not be forgotten today.
for strings to be long lasting, it's about maintaining it as a whole, not just giving some plush treatment at one end :-)
is it recommended if fixed type bridges?.. i have a top loading standard fixed strat bridge,. im looking for black saddles will this do?
Do I need to change my saddles,nuts if my guitar is still new? The change isn't significant, right?
Zesn
the Graphtech isn't exclusively for whammy bridges, they suit fixed bridges as well BUT please make the effort to check if the dimensions are correct for your guitar.
i got a cheap top loading fixed bridge, painted it black now i need good saddles(black).. i have no idea about its dimension i dont have it here right now, im here on a vacation in sg hoping to get cheap alternatives for a project guitar.. im gas'sin up real bad..
it's rather risky but if you think your guitar sports the same string spacing for Strats, then it'll accommodate the GTs...
thanks a lot sub!.. is it really @ $40???.. guitar connection has it for $75 how come?
if you doubt my pricing (the reason why i dislike stating product prices here), please refer to Davis GMC: 6337 5092 :-)
