KTS Titanium saddles, ever try them?

[jonesy]

Ran across these KTS Titanium saddles and wondered if anyone has ever tried them, and if so any Tonal improvements like they claim on their website? Thought about maybe trying a set out but they are kind of pricey

I want them. I don't know why... I just want them.

 

[jonesy]

Yeah they do look interesting

 

[Jakeislove]

They probably look cool as all get out.

Why isn't anyone making stainless?

 

[jonesy]

I have seen a few stainless Tele saddles, I think Callaham may have some?

I just searched around and found out that Allparts seems to have the best pricing on the KTS Titanium ABR Saddles, $65.

David, I have Titanium saddles in my Strat and I love how they sound.

 

[jonesy]

Hey that's good to hear Hilario, how would you describe the change in Tone from the stock saddles to the Titanium saddles? Do they make the trem smoother when you use it or keep strings from breaking at the bridge?

 

[5F6-A]

the change was a bit like having a tiny more high end in a good way and a slightly twangier bass.

I use it in my LP too:

same result: bell like tones with long sustain. A meagre depart from 100% historically correct but in a good way.

 

[jonesy]

Thanks, I appreciate your input!

 

[5F6-A]

I see if I send you an mp3 file of the LP unplugged.

Have tried these in a strat. Bright and stiff. I still prefer stainless steel saddles.

 

[jonesy]

Thanks for your input Goldtop, I was wondering if they would be on the bright side. What do you mean by stiff?

I bought Mike DeTemple's titanium strat saddles and love them.
