Specifications ◆ Model Name: S188 ◆ Finish (Color): N / Nickel ◆ Type: Saddle Set ◆ String Pitch: 10.8mm ◆ Material: Steel / Steel Sheet Metal ◆ Millimeter Size Made in Japan! This is the GOTOH steel saddle "S188". GOTOH, renowned as a high-quality, premium Japanese-made parts manufacturer!! The "S188" is heavy and solid, with a hard texture, and a clear, well-defined sound, making it a consistently popular steel saddle. It transmits string vibrations directly to the body. The balance of sound for each individual string is excellent, and it boasts not only strength but also superb vibration conductivity. As it is a standard Japanese specification commonly used in Stratocasters, it can be directly replaced in many guitars. Please check the official GOTOH website for detailed product specifications (dimensions). The saddle is the part that first receives the string's vibrations. Although it's a small part, the change in sound resulting from replacing this part is very significant. Using a high-quality saddle can be expected to improve sustain and increase harmonic content. Even those hesitant to replace the bridge due to the need for modifications can relatively easily try replacing just the saddles, so please give it a try. Those having trouble with strings slipping off at the high frets can often fix the problem by replacing the saddles, so we recommend giving it a try!
