Stew-Mac compensated brass, replace every 2 years or 50,000 miles -- when the groove gets too deep. You can turn the E-B over, and get a fresh surface to work with at 1/2 of life. I have tried other steel grooved or threaded saddles for E-B, but can hear the difference when mis-matched with brass on G-D and A-E....and I don't want to go away from brass on other strings.
