RestorationAD Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 does anyone know where can i find multiscale guitar's bridge or individual saddles???? i cannot find anywhere!! ABM Single String. The other alternative is to buy a Graph Tech Saddle Set and make your own base plate. The cheapest way is to use old Strat bridge saddles and a piece of angle aluminum. Cut the aluminum into pieces the width of the strat saddle and drill some holes for strings, screws, and mounting screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VesQ Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I bought those ABM bridges for my multiscale project. I´m not sure if intonation adjustment is okay or not. Anyone got experience how it works ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestorationAD Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I bought those ABM bridges for my multiscale project. I´m not sure if intonation adjustment is okay or not. Anyone got experience how it works ? Yes. You loosen the side set screw and slide the saddle block forward or back in the slot as needed. Very difficult to adjust with full string tension. What I do is tune, check, guesstimate how far I need to move the bridge, de-tune, slide bridge, re-tune. When I have it correct I reset the action then recheck intonation. Last thing is tightening the side set screw. That plus expense is why I do not use them anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElRay Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 In addition to the "make your own carrier for off-the-shelf saddles" (good enough for Novax), there's Ola Strandberg's headless system, Rick Toone's headless system (IIRC, it can handle multi-scale) and Khaler makes multi-scale capable trem and non-trem roller bridges.
