Marc Rutters just sent me my new chrome plated brass compensated saddles! In just a few weeks I send my Tele in to have B and G benders installed. Can't wait!
So far the tone is very similar to my old brass saddles. Can't say anything about the slipperiness of the chrome plated saddles until the benders are installed so I'll post an update in a few weeks. I was surprised at how close I could intonate the guitar since I had before been skeptical about compensated saddles. The grooves are really nice since with my old saddles I've had strings slip too close to the screws and buzz. So far the saddles are pretty much perfect!
Here are my old non-compensated Fender brass saddles:

I was wondering how I would figure out which saddle was which...

Installed, intonated and ready to rock!
