Ron Banas from the band Lone Shark brought me his Gibson Les Paul for some TLC. The small notches in each saddle were worn and it was time for some new ones. Ron says he plays this guitar every single day. Who wouldn’t, it’s a really cool guitar. The neck is nice and chunky and because it is chambered the weight is perfect!
I talked to Ron about some different saddle options and he decided to go with the titanium saddles made by KTS. I have installed KTS saddles on many guitars (including my own #1 Tele) with great results. Ron’s guitar was great o begin with but now it’s even better! The titanium saddles increase harmonic content and sustain to a certain degree. The overall effect is like taking a veil off your guitars sound. So a great guitar gets even better! As an added bonus the chance of string breakage is significantly decreased so it’s a win-win in my opinion.

Testimonials:
David Nicholas - The 20watt amp is sounding fantastic! Delivered the goods at the gig and I'm finding cool tones all over the place with it. Love the cab w Emenince Tonkerlites too- perfect for my sounds! Makes the 12 string sound like a grand piano!
Peter Lacis - I had an audition for something recently that was all about Led Zeppelin I -- my custom Pennalizer BLEW THE MINDS of the guys I was playing with. They couldn't believe the sounds coming out of that amp. That album was never in my mind when I came up with the idea....so that's yet another testament to the amazing work that you do.
Scott Goldberg - I am very satisfied with the set-up, and the fast turn around. With the "lower" action it feels easier to play. I will definitely spread the word.
