New! Made in Japan, High Quality, Genuine Gotoh-made Replacement Brass Saddles Specifications ◆ Model Name: S11 ◆ Finish (Color): C / Chrome ◆ Type: Saddle Set ◆ String Pitch: 10.5mm ◆ Material: Brass ◆ Metric Size Made in Japan! These are steel saddles "S11" made by GOTOH. GOTOH, renowned as a high-quality, premium Japanese parts manufacturer!! The "S11" is a popular brass saddle known for its beautiful overtones, reminiscent of a bell, and its clear, extended sound. It transmits string vibrations directly to the body. The balance of sound for each individual string is excellent, and it boasts both strength and excellent vibration conductivity. Originally, these were saddles for GOTOH's popular bridge part "GTC101," but due to requests for "just the saddle part," they are now sold separately. Saddles are a kind of "consumable" part, as the strings directly contact them, so they need to be replaced to maintain sound quality. GOTOH's official website provides detailed product specifications (dimensions), so please check them. The saddle is the part that first receives the string's vibrations. Although it's a small part, the change in sound due to replacing this part is very significant. Using high-quality saddles can be expected to improve sustain and increase overtone components. For those hesitant to replace a bridge because of the necessary modifications, replacing only the saddles is relatively easy, so please give it a try. Those having trouble with strings falling off can often fix the problem by replacing the saddles, so we encourage you to try it!
