RockRabbit Vintage Compensated Titanium Tele Saddles
The 3 barrel saddles are Eli Grade 23 Titanium (medical version of Grade 5), vintage-sized at 5/16” diameter and compensated for intonation. Each saddle is designed for its string offset, so each one has its own unique angle and depth of machining flat. Unlike other designs that just uses the same saddles for the EA and BE saddles!
Tele String Compensation
Let’s be honest, any barrel-style compensation is going to be a compromise. Exact intonation depends on many factors- core size and geometry of your string’s core wire, your guitar’s nut, the action height of the strings, and your fingers. My development process was– calculating intonations, machining the barrel saddles, installing on various guitars and finally strobing each guitar. Then adjust the saddles, measure the actual offset, and repeat the entire cycle. After a couple of months (!), this is the saddle design that I finally landed on.
