Copied from MY post on Jam Session.
A saddle option for three-saddle bridge lovers is the Danny Gatton Tele Saddle, drilled to sit at an angle for superior intonation. Danny Gatton developed this with help from Jay Monterose and his company, Vintique, which manufactures many high-end, custom tele parts.
Vintique bridges are ground perfectly flat on the underside before plating. The result is better coupling with the body (Which means better tone). On all teles, other than vintage peices, I would flatten the bottomo of the bridge with 80 grit wet-or-dry sand paper glued to a flat surface (or a belt sander). This will remove all burrs, dips, and warping that can be caused during the stamped-metal manufactoring. You will be able to hear the diffrence.
