Awesome value for price, maybe they're a bit less beautiful than regular Fender saddles, a bit more "blocky". But definitely not ugly. I've been fighting with my half broken saddles on my Fender Japan Strat for years now, putting metal underneath them to raise them up, since the threading was gone on a couple of them. With these new, it's amost too easy. When in doubt, buy Harley Benton! World's worst brand name, world's best quality per Euro!
