V-RAIL Saddles

  • Perfect, save and tight TONE

    The „V-Rail“ Saddles guarantee an exact and pure „string to saddle“ connection – the result is nothing but straight tone .

    The special developed V-grooves(RAILS) just have the right fitting for all string gauges. All strings naturally have a perfect, safe and tight contact surface to the saddles and create a perfect fusion to the bridge and hence to the guitar body.

    Even the most extreme bendings are no longer a risk for detuning or breaking strings!


  • Well-balanced INTONATION

    The compensated KMS V-Rail saddles improve the intonation of your guitar through their special and unique design drastically and effectively.

    The compensation is well balanced and works just perfect with most string  gauges.


    You want to play a set of strings with a wound "G" string?

    No problem! Just turn the middle saddle once around the longitudinal axis and the problem with the intonation is solved! Great tone and tuning stability guaranteed.


  • Staying IN TUNE

    The V-RAIL Saddles are coated with an extra hardened and special treated layer, which has comparable lubrication and hardness properties like hard chrome, but with significant better layer characteristics inside the notch itself – so right where you need it!

    When using your Vibrato System or doing extended bendings, the strings are perfectly gliding over the V-Rail saddles without sticking or jerking. 

    This allows the strings to always return to their original setting and keeps your guitar in tune.
