...and now I thinking about changing it. My alder, maple-necked, American Standard currently has a modern, brass, 6-saddle bridge assembly. I'm more accustomed to steel and 3 compensated brass saddles.
Any of you have a steel bridge on yours? Have (or have switched to) a 3-saddle bridge? Any issues? Steel or brass saddle recommendations?
Thanks, in advance, for any assistance.

i switched out a usa bridge for a callaham steel 3 saddle (compensated) and i like it. a USA ash body maple neck tele. not sure why (and the beer could be talking) but it made the guitar easier to set up for me.

Here are two recent threads on that topic. Both Darrell and I made the switch. Definitely worth it.
