awesome product!
Matias M. 20.06.2015
I bought 3 of these the other day for two very old guitars I restored and one LaMancha that had a previous "compensated B only" installed.

Boy they fix your intonation problems quite good!! Try playing Beatles BlackBird and you'll know what I mean, at the 12th fret notes are WAY OFF with a conventional saddle and pristine with this one.

I sanded them to the right height first, took forever! they're really strong. They sound like crystal when you drop them.

Highly recommended for any classic guitar.

Nice but not as nice as bone.
TCSMD 19.08.2021
These saddles work great. Personally I prefer bone but I wanted to give TUSQ a chance.

To be honest i probably won't buy these again. Not because they're bad in any way but simply because I think bone is even better, if a little harder to work with.

I can recommend this saddle to anyone looking for a ready made compensated saddle. Just make sure you get the right size. If you have the skills to make a saddle from a blank I would rather recommend bone. In my opinion bone sounds better and looks nicer.

Fits in the Harley Benton Travel Spruce with some filing
Braddie 09.04.2022
I wanted to replace the plastic saddle on my Harley Benton travel guitar since the smaller guitar already has issues with volume and sustain. This saddle definitely added some more sparkle and sustain to the tone. It was a bit of a challenge to get it properly fitted, but the width is perfect and you need to adjust the thickness and height by sanding. Especially the height takes a lot of sanding for a proper fit. All in all not much to complain about.

good replacement
Marko Marić 08.02.2021
saddle is good quality, needs some sanding to fit right, only problem is bottom holes , if u have pizeo or some pickup bottom holes dont transfer sound to piezo, also its alot brighter then bone so for some guitar is a good option
