I had a graphtech that buzzed like crazy, but in the sense of string buzz. Because they left gaps of over a mm between the saddles so the float about...wheee! No point bothering setting you action! Instead of stringa popping out of saddles the actual saddle flipped on its side- what total crap!
I feel like that's more to do with how many offset bridges use 56mm spacing for their saddles, whereas the Graphtech ones are 52mm. I've used their saddles before on an old LTD tele and I was pretty happy with them at the time, though it's been years.

That’s terrible, or the saddles were designed for a bridge with slightly narrower spacing. I would be tempered to fit vinyl shims between the saddles to remove the buzz. I agree, it’s not ideal.

If i recall correctly they space below 52mm have tried and still have gaps but for evidence use the search bar because at this point i rely on hazy memory.
