Titanium '68 Style Barrel Saddle Set for Vintage Telecaster Bridge

From late 1954 Telecaster saddles were of the steel barrel type, without grooves and with a diameter of 6.35 mm. After mid-1958 the plain steel saddles were replaced by threaded saddles that remained standard until 1968. In that year Fender introduced steel saddles with grooves at each end, again with a 6.35 mm diameter. The groove reduces the diameter between 5.46 and 5.59 mm at the point where the string is placed.
