Where To Buy Individual Wilkinson Saddles?

[Daniel Schmolze]

I'm planning an 8-string build, and I'd like to use individual Wilkinson saddles for the bridge (it's gonna be a multiscale design). You'd think this would be an easy thing to find, but my Google skills are severely failing me on this one. Anyone know a source?

Followup question: can I mount the saddles right onto the body, assuming I'm using a dense wood like Bubinga or Wenge?

Thanks!

P.S. - Build #2 is almost done, stay tuned for pics...

the graphtech versions i am using are available direct from graphtech surprisingly enough

i did notice the other day a uk supplier that was selling some very cheap chrome ones

i use mine mounted to an ebony plate... the saddles are only 6mm tall so make sure you have room for all your hardware if mounting direct to the body

Thanks Wez. Looks like Graphtech may be the way to go. I just find it odd that nobody stocks cheap replacements.
