This is the steel saddle "S108" made by GOTOH. Compared to the S188, it has a recess at the point of contact with the strings, increasing stability. The string height will be slightly lower. GOTOH, known as a high-quality, high-end part made in Japan! This "S108" is heavy and solid, with a clear and defined sound, and is a popular steel saddle. It transmits string vibrations directly to the body. The balance of sound for each string is good, and the strength and conductivity of vibration are also excellent. Since it is a standard Japanese specification for Stratocasters, it can be replaced directly on many guitars. Please check the official GOTOH website for detailed product specifications (dimensions). The saddle is the part that first receives the vibration of the strings. Although it is a small part, the rate of sound change due to the replacement of this part is very high. Using a good quality saddle, you can expect effects such as increased sustain and harmonic components. Even those who are hesitant to replace the bridge because of the need for processing can try replacing only the saddle relatively easily, so please give it a try. If you are having trouble with strings falling off at the high frets, it can often be fixed by replacing the saddle, so please try it!
