bridge saddels
i own g&l legacy humbacker around 20 years old.
the bridge saddles began to wear out + some screws on it fall
i don't know what saddles will fit best,
i stumbled those ones here in the board:
https://www.amazon.com/Graph-Tech-Strin ... B000U1W4GC
do you recommend them?
do you know "more recommended" ones?
Thanks

Re: bridge saddels
Try contacting the G&L dealer in your country to see if they can sell you a set of saddles:eranmeir1z wrote:yes i did, the shipping cost is more then the product itself ($42.13) and i cant find on amazon or such

Yes, Graph-Tech does make saddles which will fit the G&L DF Vibrato bridge. See that post for the link to the Graph-Tech website.eranmeir1z wrote:@Craig I really appreciate your time / answer.

Measure the E to e string spacing to determine which version to get.
Hope this helps.

Re: bridge saddels
Measure string spacing at the bridge, where the E strings are on the saddles.

Re: bridge saddels
Yes, that is the E to e spacing measurement.

Re: bridge saddels
Measure one of the existing saddles (height, width and length) and look on the Graph-Tech website for which version of their saddles is a match.eranmeir1z wrote:the bridge saddles began to wear out + some screws on it fall.

Re: bridge saddels
You should be able to measure the distance between the bridge adjustment screw hole centers, high to low E strings and get the e-E string spacing.
