New saddles for American Special Tele

What's Hot
As the title suggests I've got an American Special Tele with the three saddle bridge.

I want some nice compensated saddles for it, can anyone recommend some?

Cheers!

    Anyone know if the Gotoh ones will fit  CV Squier Telecaster? 
    It will save me having to do get the tape measure out. 
    Thanks.

  • I like the Callaham vintage enhanced.

    Good enough for Brad Paisley, good enough for me! (But I’m probaby not good enough for them!)

    I thought the compensation on the Wilkinson’s was a bit over the top and went back to my original uncompensated saddles.  

    Ive been really happy with the gotohs though.

    I've got the Wilkinson set on at the moment and the intonation is great but they are much smaller than the stock saddles so I was wondering if the smallness of the saddles might be having an adverse effect on the tone

    I didn’t directly compare the gotohs with the Wilkinson but the guitar sounds great and intonates well so I’ve kept them on there.

    i also have a set of the titanium gotohs which are going on a tele Scott painted for me which I’m looking forward to trying but a new baby in the house and my current workload is holding that one up.
