Callaham Strat Saddles, Offset, Am Standard, 2 1/16 Aged

Item number: CA21058

Fits Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster; American Standard Stratocaster - through 2007; Strat Plus Deluxe.

Callaham's saddles are designed from original pre-CBS saddles, with some improvements. They've slightly lengthened the string slot as compared to pre-CBS saddles, so that the strings will not bind and bend against a sharp edge before going over the saddles, which reduces string breakage. Fender's current production saddles have their slots moved too far to the rear, causing string breakage and loss of downward pressure on the saddle, hurting both sustain and tone.

Callaham's saddles, like pre-CBS saddles, have threads running the entire height of the front skirt of the saddle. Fender's current production saddles have fewer threads and a shorter front skirt. Consequently, the Callaham height-adjustment screws are held more securely, with more thread contact, maintaining sustain and saddle stability.

This aging process is carried out buy us at Charles Guitars and is not the distressed finish from Callaham Guitars.
