Specifications ◆ Model Name: S188 ◆ Finish (Color): N / Nickel ◆ Type: Saddle Set ◆ String Pitch: 10.8mm ◆ Material: Steel / Steel Sheet Metal ◆ Millimeter Size Made in Japan! This is the GOTOH steel saddle "S188". GOTOH, renowned as a high-quality, premium Japanese parts manufacturer! The "S188" is heavy and solid, with a clear and defined sound, making it a consistently popular steel saddle. It transmits string vibrations directly to the body. It provides a good balance for the sound of each individual string, and boasts excellent strength and vibration conductivity. As it is a standard Japanese specification commonly used in Stratocasters, it can be directly replaced in many guitars. Please refer to the GOTOH official website for detailed product specifications (dimensions). The saddle is the part that first receives the string vibrations. Although it is a small part, the change in sound caused by replacing this part is very significant. Using a high-quality saddle can be expected to improve sustain and increase harmonic content. Even those hesitant to replace the bridge due to the need for modifications can easily try replacing just the saddles. We highly recommend giving it a try! Those experiencing string slippage on the high frets can often fix the problem by replacing the saddles, so please give it a try!
