With solid mated saddles to the base plate individual strings are “non” adjustable in height and are preset based on the two tremolo post height screws or by shimming the underside of the saddles individually. This solid mating captures the most extreme in tone transfer principles with less moving parts. The top loaded string access design allows for quicker string change and less string breakage at the bridge compared to traditional through the rear tremolo blocks

The Sophia 2:22 Dual Loading Brass or Stainless Steel CNC saddles —  include a “top-loading” the string placement so that the reinforcement windings at the ball-end of the string advances to the .197 high intonation point — to eliminate string stretch without resorting to locking or clamping the string — includes string threading through the spring block for a looser more traditional feel.
