String Locks MK2 are superior upgrade locking replacement saddles for any 10.5 mm saddle on strat-style tremolo tailpieces, with improved plating.   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 locking saddle set prevents detuning.<br>Basically for you can secure your tailpiece with locking saddles as with say a Floyd Rose system, but keeping the original tailpiece aesthetic intact. Two styles of String Locks are available: SL-1 for center pull (stock strat tremolo, chrome or nickel) gold listing #<br>162949691048<br>or SL-2 for side pull (American Standard Strats listing number 162966158167 chrome only).<br>Made from chrome or nickel-plated white brass, these saddles improve sustain substantially, as well as locking the string in place. These saddles replace most strat copies as well as G&L guitars with tremolo.<br>This unit comes with 6 locking saddles, intonation screws, springs, and an allen wrench. The height adjustment screws are the same size as the locking allen screw, 1.5mm so adjustment is easy.<br>Standard finish is chrome, nickel and gold  are available upon request.<br>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."<br>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.  Also, the pictures show, gold, and chrome finishes.<br>* The locking allen screw is steel, and strings are nickel.  Given that fact, the string is soft,thus it is not necessary to over tighten the locking allen screw or you can damage the string and experience string breakage.<br>
