I agree on the Graphtechs, it was difficult to get them adjusted correctly for
height while
also nestled snugly together on the bridge. I ended up with four Graphtechs,
with two of
the original Fender Jaguar barrels sandwiched between them.
I think you will be happy with the Mustang saddles.
Many thanks again...this site continues to be a really great resource, and I
have even met a
few of the people. Will we ever get together for a get-together?
Best wishes,
Gavin
