I had tried the Teflon and it got hung up when ran through the hole (it wore right through it and made direct contact w/ the metal). I have .009's on the guitar so it doesn't get too much of the "sawing effect," and when it does I can just flip the saddle over or get some steel ones (though I used to have steel on the guitar and I prefer how the brass sounds). I didn't have to adjust it too much between the stock setup and now, just a little tweak. I had to play with the height of the string tree a bit to make it come back into tune just right as too much downforce made it bind again, and I put a dab of 3-in-1 oil on the saddle as well.
What would you guys recommend for saddles? I have determined that I need notched saddles to keep my G, B and high E from sliding around from bending since the guitar came with unslotted steel barrels. Would the compensated RS Guitarworks saddles do the trick (or vintage style threaded ones), or should I look into String Savers (which I hear don't do the greatest things to your sound)? Thanks!
