    Description

    String Locks  are superior upgrade replacement saddles for any 10.5 mm saddle on strat-style (American Standard) tremolo tailpieces with side pull intonation screws.   The common and problematic issue with most standard strat-style tremolos is, when in use, the strings have a tendency to seat/seize, thus pulling the string sharp - especially the G string. Locking the string to the saddle via an allen screw secures the movement of the string at the saddle, thus keeping the string in tune and fixed. This greatly  prevents detuning!
    Basically you can secure stings to each saddle on your tailpiece as with say a Floyd Rose system, but keeping the original tailpiece aesthetic intact.  SL-2 for side pull (American Standard Strats).
    Made from chrome-plated white brass, these saddles improve sustain substantially, as well as locking the string in place. These are used on "American Standard" tailpieces only!
    This unit comes with 6 locking saddles, intonation screws, springs, and an allen wrench. The height adjustment screws are the same size (1.5mm) as the locking allen screw, so adjustment is easy.
    Being the lead guitarist with "Quarterflash" back in the 80's, I toured world-wide using an early version of my SL's and can testify to their effectiveness.  "Wouldn't use the tremolo without them."
    Note: Keep in mind, threading strings through the SL saddle can take more time than the stock saddle, but once familiar with the process, the benefit in performance far outweighs the learning curve
