Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has tried the Highwood Strat saddles, and if so what opinion you have of them? How do they compare to other saddles like Callaham or Raw Vintage?
I'm looking for a decent set of 10.8mm wide saddles (54mm overall spacing). I've got some brass saddles on one of my Strats, and Callaham's on another. I am perfectly happy with each of those on their respective instruments, but whist searching for 10.8mm wide saddles I came across the Highwood ones and couldn't decide whether they were a genuinely useful design, or just a solution looking for a problem! For those that haven't seen them, the website is here:

The Gotoh/Wilkinson VSVG saddles use a similar idea but in a less vintage-friendly way.
They are really nice and pretty much do what they say on the tin
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

Much easier to use regular saddles and get shorter screws if you need them
@FelineGuitars I can't find these on your website - I'm interested to know the price of these both in standard and relic versions.
