I will add there's a distinct tonal difference between a Takeuchi JT580LP and a non-Takeuchi version. I've experienced this personally with various guitars over the years, but could never put my finger on it. All things otherwise being equal, putting the Takeuchi on the other guitar yielded the "Takeuchi tone". It was then that I actually noticed the block had a Takeuchi logo. It was a direct replacement for the other block, so I swapped the blocks around, but lost the "Takeuchi tone". Then I swapped the Takeuchi saddles to the other baseplate along with the block. Still no "Takeuchi tone". The other saddles and block on the Takeuchi baseplate also did not yield the "Takeuchi tone", though it was somewhat in-between. Only with a full Takeuchi assembly was everything "right" to my ears.
