Schaller Saddles set of 6 radius 12 Tremolo/Vibrato

Schaller Saddles Set of 6 Radius 12 Black — Precision Replacement for LockMeister 6 and Schaller Tremolo

The Schaller Saddles set of 6 radius 12 Black is a direct-fit replacement saddle kit engineered for the LockMeister 6 and Schaller Tremolo systems. Developed in 2023 by Schaller's R&D department, each saddle is CNC-machined and hardened from a single piece of steel, eliminating the need for shims while providing a larger contact surface on the base plate. The result is improved sustain and more stable string-to-saddle coupling across all six strings. The 12" radius matches the curvature of most modern guitar fretboards, making this set a straightforward upgrade for players seeking consistent intonation and tonal clarity.

One-Piece Steel Construction and Radius-Specific Design

Unlike stamped or cast alternatives, these saddles are each cut from a single piece of hardened steel and precision-machined to exact tolerances. The string rest geometry was developed specifically to match common fretboard curvatures, with four radius options (10", 12", 14", and 16") available through the configurator. Saddle heights are pre-adapted to the selected radius, so installation requires no additional filing or fitting work.

Construction and Materials — Built for Sustain

The material choice and machining process directly affect how energy transfers from the string to the guitar body. One-piece hardened steel provides the density and rigidity that stamped alternatives cannot match.

• Material: One-piece hardened steel — density and rigidity for improved sustain
• Machining: CNC-machined — exact tolerances across all six saddles
• Contact Surface: Enlarged base plate footprint — eliminates the need for shims

Compatibility — Direct Fit for LockMeister and Schaller Tremolo

This saddle set is engineered as a direct replacement for two specific tremolo systems. Confirming compatibility before purchase ensures proper string spacing and height.

• Compatible Tremolos: LockMeister 6 and Schaller Tremolo — direct fit, no modification required
• String Positions: E, A, D, g, h(b), e — complete set of 6 saddles
• Scope of Delivery: Saddles only — string lock screws and inserts sold separately

Geometry and Finish — Radius-Specific Heights

The 12" radius and black finish address both playability and aesthetics. Saddle heights are pre-set to match the selected radius, reducing setup time.

• Tremolo Radius: 12" (305 mm) — matches common modern fretboard curvature
• Finish: Black — low-profile aesthetic for dark hardware setups
• Set Weight: 151 g — lightweight replacement that does not alter tremolo balance
