Looking for a saddle upgrade for an old Tele. Let me know if you want to sell any of these things!

Not specifically what you asked for but, Wilkinson brass compensated saddles are about a tenner delivered from ebay...

thanks for that @paulnb57 ; I'll look into those. There are a fair few saddles to choose from on ebay, of all sorts of differing prices too. Any experience with brands like vanson?... how do they compare with Wilkinson? And how do Wilkinson compare with the premium priced Glendales and Callahams? Is a brass saddle a brass saddle, or is there something special with the big name brands?

While I have no experience with the top brands I have three of the Wilkinson compensated bridges and have no issue at all regarding quality, IMHO Brass is Brass, certainly in regard to bridge saddles, I reckon top brands are top money as they have a greater profit, just my opinion.......Wilkinson hardware has a pretty good rep.....

Tell you what, I need a set of compensated saddles for a Tele of mine, if you buy the Wilkinsons and dont like them, I'll buy them off you........I'm in no rush......

@paulnb57 ; Thanks so much for that offer matey, very kind of you, but I've already ordered a set of the Vanson's so I'll see how they go... Will report back!
Your help was really useful, so thanks again matey.
Thanks again,
