FenderPure Vintage Stratocaster "Pat. Pend." Saddle Kit

These are the all elusive Pat.Pending saddles that all guitar builders and restorers look for. Even Fenders own site have a buy it now on them. For many years I've searched for these I can't believe I finally found them.... Pinch me

Nothing like a better "BLING" on my guitar !

It’s perfect, nice nickel finish.

First class parts made in USA

I purchased these admittedly for the Pat. Pend. stamp, this is the second set I’ve received that both the intonation and height adjustment screws bind. The set I received last time had a flat finish on the saddle as if it was a roadworn saddle mixed in with newer saddles. The saddles themselves are really rough as there are burrs from the stamping process that haven’t been addressed then they are plated and look ugly and rough. The prices have gone down, but they are still $20 more than the Fender stamped saddles (which is the better purchase as you will need penetrating oil and torque to adjust these saddles.

Finally Fender has decided to reproduce these amazing saddles from an era long gone! Very Happy with them!

Talk about GOUGING there customers! Once Fender tooled up to have PAT PEND stamped, it's done... They will now GOUGE there customers by charging TWICE what the other saddles sell for . There cost is the same to produce. Probably even less since they most likely have them MADE in Mexico since the plating is probably done there. Can't chrome plate in California, the chemicals are soooo bad for the "planet". Just have it done in Mexico where they follow chemical handeling laws soo religiously.
