    round or flat barrels on vintage teles?

    Just curious, how did they originally come?

    I'm getting some more of those compensated saddles, and wondering which way I should specify for my Nocaster. I've had round and flat on there without a problem with height adjustment.

    From what I understand with the old smooth steel saddles there were 2 diameters (at least) Some were 1/4 inch, and those are round.... some are the same diameter as the re-issue brass saddles (that diameter escapes me right now... maybe 5/16'ths???) and are flat on the bottom.
