unclej Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 one of my regulars came in today wanting to replace the regular aluminum compensated saddle on his bigsby trem with a "plastic" one that the owner of a local vintage guitar shop told him about. i did what i think is a pretty thorough search and couldn't find one. i did find a couple of sources for one with individual adjustable saddles which is pretty cool but not a plastic one. anyone heard of them? had any experience with them? have a source for them? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickguard Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Maybe the guy's confused and was thinking of graph tech stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay5 Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 A bridge would have a saddle but a Bigsby is really just a tailpiece, not a bridge. Is he taliking baout the roller piece or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclej Posted August 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 nope, not the tailpiece..a bigsby has the tailpiece with the roller portion that the strings go thru then an adjustable bridge that the saddle sits on..he's had trouble breaking strings and was told that there was a plastic replacement saddle that sounded good and was easier on strings.. but like i said above, i'll call the "source" today and see what's up.

Mickguard Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 he's probably talking about one of these rocker bridges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
