"First, I need to say I'm a bit jaded regarding "enhancements" for tone and was a bit reluctant to even put these on my personal Frankenstein tele. It's set up with a Barden bridge pu and a vintage Gibson minihumbucker. It has the cheap steel modified cutaway Fender bridge with cheaper still steel saddles that I simply bent the adjusting screws to achieve proper intonation. Having said that, I'm definitely from the "less is more" school of guitar building, preferring the simple stop tailpiece/bridge that Gibson used on their early electric instruments as well as the 3 pc. saddle Tele bridges. If you want a Telecaster to sound like a Telecaster, this is the only way go IMHO.
"The most obvious difference is the way it feels in my hand. The titanium makes it seem more solid but much more alive. Sonically it is more even, and the response is quicker. The notes seem to jump off the board. it's a very interesting phenomenon."

我々のテストの結果、KTSのチタンサドルは、私のそういった考えを覆すほどの感銘を与えてくれているじゃないか。今、うちのラインアップのなかで、DeTemple'52,'56 そして P55 というギターとベースに、チタンサドルを使っている。
思ったより良かったんだよね。もっと硬い金属的な音がするのかと思ったら、割と柔らかくてマイルドなのね。サスティンは絶対あるね。音がきれい。それと弦が長持ちするよね。死なないって意味だけど．．。
