I replaced my original bent steel saddles of my Mex made Fender Standard Strat, since the strings had started to chew into the original ones. I knew these would improve the sound, but I did not expect them to add so much sustain and clarity! Guitar feels like new. I like the modern block style, nice 90s vibe visually, palm muting is more comfortable and accurate to execute due the flat surface, and sleeves of my knits and other shirts won't stick to these, since the adjustment screws are lower and rounder. Only notion is that the attachment screws these came with, looked too long for my Strat bridge, so I used the original screws to attach these to the bridge, but they worked fine. Highly, highly, highly recommended if your old saddles are starting to be weary and you wish for more clarity and sustain. Good job Japan.
