Prostheta Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Post pictures of the saddles if possible, as there are so many different "standards" out there. I have a few at home, but i'm in the UK. Usual sources? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post pics once I FIND THE USB CABLE FOR MY STUPID CAMERA, but it's pretty routine, off an old Squier. Not the stamped vingage style, but the cast block-style. No sub for a pic, I agree.

wohzah Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I know I recommend ebay alot, but belive it or not I have seen a few individual saddles there whilst looking for a whole bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j. pierce Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Have you tried asking your local guitar shop? The place in my town has a whole bunch of parts, some of which have been kicking around since the stone-age (or at least, through the last three moves over the last thirty decades) and they're often quite amenable towards letting me snag parts from their repair desk on occasion. I don't make a habit of it, but when I need something in a jiffy or just one or something, they often help out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there ya go. I went to Carrboro Music Loft and they sold me a saddle for $3 from their little tray of parts. Not a perfect match (+1 mojo quantum) but we are back in business! Thanks, folks!
