New saddles


I dislike vintage-type bent saddles. As depicted above, that's how much grip space each saddle has if you need to raise the action. When you shim the neck pocket, the corresponding necessary adjustment would be raising the action to accommodate the new tilt angle. Bent saddles are just unsuitable for this rectification.


Also, the width of those bent saddles are 10mm each. These are not commonly sold at the shops. Most saddles are meant for the super-Strat type string spacing, these are 10.5mm each. The moment I saw these 10mm saddles available online, I knew they would accommodate my needs.
