Fluke Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 I'm look for a strat 2-point (or 6-point) standard tremolo bridge with bent saddles instead of solid ones I've only seen it on one instrument before (a highway 1 strat of all things), and its owner said it was stock. any does anyone know where I can purchase a bridge or bridge-saddles like this? or perhaps how one could make them? The reason I want them is just because of tonal differences. -Fluke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoCaster Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 (edited) Like this? http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailp...es.html#details They also have just the saddles - http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailp..._for_Strat.html Edited April 15, 2006 by MoCaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer X Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 (edited) They shouldn't be all that tough to find. They are the vintage style, and seem pretty readily available. Edited April 16, 2006 by Racer X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 They're all over the place. Fender (MIM, vintage reissues, Squiers, etc.), copies, ebay, everywhere. Just be sure of your spacing before you buy--or drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluke Posted April 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 I just can't tell from the pics, I'd need a "side-saddle" view to be sure but I think the stew mac ones may be what I'm looking for.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 What exactly are you looking for? Seriously, I have 3 in my garage right now and all 3 came from different sources. What you have to watch for is string spacing and saddle width. American Fender saddles tend to be wider than imports. Saddle height isn't much of a factor since they're adjustable. If it were me (and it isn't) I would not pay StewMac prices for something I could get on the bay for 10 bucks or less all day long.
