Stratocaster Saddle Test

In this video I test three types of saddles made for Stratocasters - the vintage-style stamped steel (made by Callaham Guitars), the stock American Standard block saddles, and Graph Tech String Saver graphite saddles. I was curious about tonal differences, as well as sustain. I used my 1991 American Standard Strat, which I have refretted with stainless steel frets, and installed DiMarzio Virtual 54 pickups. I strung the guitar with three sets of .026 D strings and .017 G strings. I then adjusted the action and intonation to be exact for each pair. I also set the pickup height as evenly as possible. I tested and recorded the guitar acoustically, then plugged into my Marshall JVM205 on the (sort of) clean channel, with no reverb and flat EQ. I used a Sennheiser E609 microphone into a Zoom H4 recorder. The acoustic part was done with my phone's video recorder.
