es 330 aged replacement bridges

mattacjones

Hi, my es330 (1965) has nylon saddles - originals. Trouble is they fall out if you break a string, or when chnaging strings etc. I'd like to replace the originals with metal ones, can anyone recommend an aged replacement? Ideally with that retaining wire. One of these days I'm going to loose one and wish I'd got round to storing the originals somewhere! Thx

Have a look on www.crazyparts.de - they tend to have most things!

Sorry, can't help with replacement saddles.

Can only offer a steel Faber replacement in aged nickel. They do away with the retainer wire for teflon washers and circlips (rattle free design).

Crazyparts or Julian at fake58 can do them too.
