'69 Thinline: Brass or Steel Saddles?

Just got a '69 thinline re-issue and want to get compensated saddles but unsure of whether steel or brass because of how thinlines are known for their feedback. I want to maximize the bridge pu for that' twang' without creating an excessive amount of 'screeeetch'. Because I don't have the experiece of most of you here I'd love your all's help.
thanks in advance

I love the stock saddles on those. They aren't comp'd, but i left them on both the thinlines i had, intonation be damned. I swapped out the bridgeplate, but left those stock saddles on there.

mercenarywrench,

Welcome to the TDPRI!

It's too bad you double posted this because the first response in each of the two forums has some useful info, but it's not threaded together.

I have one of those Teles. Like kp8, I love my stock saddles but not the plate.

i went compensated brass, and to my ears, it did what brass usally does: softened the attack a bit, and overall, it enhanced the already "woody" character of the sound of this guitar.

it still twangs like crazy on the bridge, but as a jazz freak, i love how the neck pickup with a little tone rolled off puts me in that "early to mid fifties barney kessel sound" zone.

but to be perfectly honest, there's very little wrong with it stock...it's just a matter of prefernce i have for brass, and i wanted all 3 of my teles to be the same in this department...weird, i know.
