At this page, we would like to introduce some of comments on our titanium saddles from guitarists, bassists, builders.. so-called professionals.

"With titanium saddles notes are clearer, fatter,more defined. You hear more of everything. More attack, more of your fingers. Even my V.U. meter on my tuner was evidence. The needle just sat in one position after I installed these saddles. No fluttering like before. I even "pro-tooled" before and after installing the saddles. the high end was much thicker with a crisper attack. Any change takes a while to get used too if you are constantly searching for "THE" tone. Titanium parts are an evolution, not too far from tradition, that really make a difference. "

--Allen Hinds, Guitarist

"I have to say that I was a little bit skeptical about whether or not bridge saddles could make as much of difference as you say. But after hearing the difference in two guitars (a Fender '62 reissue Strat and a custom Don Grosch) I have to say it made a Big improvement in Tone and Sustain. I have already recommend these bridge saddles to some of my guitar friends. Eventually I would like to install these saddles in all my Strat type guitars. Thank Alot,"

--Michael Thompson, Guitarist

"These Titanium bridge pieces are the BOMB!! Try them for youself. "

--Jennifer Batten, Guitarist

"I am SO sick of digging out cracked block with a screwdriver! It sounds like your Ti-Block is something that is going to make me happy for years! Thank you so much!"

--Reb Beach, Guitarist

"Why Titanium? When it comes to guitars I have been a traditionalist for as long as I can remember. From repairing guitars for Ernie Ball at age 14 to the restoration and upkeep of some of the greatest player's instruments of today, I have always found tradition to be the greatest guideline in determining the best approach to any given problem. For me to decide to use a different saddle metal on a very traditional electric guitar such as a Strat®, Tele® or Les Paul® is really a stretch. However, our test results with Titanium have been so impressive that I've changed my mind. And, just as significantly, I use Titanium saddles on my own line of DeTemple '52, '56 and P55 guitars and basses. In addition to my own line I have installed at least 50 sets of Titanium saddles on all sorts of guitars from $100.00 copies to multi-thousand dollar custom shop guitars, and without a doubt they have all benefited greatly with the modification. One of the most amazing transformations occurred on a secondhand, made in Mexico, StratR. Along with Titanium saddles (on the vintage style bridge) I added a set of my SweetSpot Alnico 2 pickups - the result was a guitar that sounded as good as any custom shop instrument you will ever hear. Thank you KTS for your extraordinary innovation. The quality and craftsmanship of your products have raised the bar when it comes to tone."
