Graph Tech vs. Fender Stock saddles

Hi there.

I'm thinking of replacing the stock bridge saddles on my MIA Fender Jazz Deluxe with Graph Tech string saver saddles.

Can I have your valuable opinion?

I used to use them for years on my MIA P and fretless, I loved them, but it was because I used TI flats, strung through the bodies, and the more gentle ramp was easier on the strings. Be aware they noticably brighten the tone, and at least on my instruments added a considerable amount of sustain. It's worth trying them.

Thank you

I like both the extra brightness and sustain. The problem with my saddles is that they have 3 ramps each, with the separators being "eaten out" by the roundwound string and the tension!
