Yes, the GraphTech saddles have gaps, but I think it's
OK. It actually allows natural alignment for
straighter string pull. Some of the saddles tilt a
little bit. I'm thinking of trying the "Tusk" style
saddles for the wound strings, and "GraphTech" for the
plain strings.
I've been recording/writing at home using my near
mint, dead stock '63 Jaguar, and I'm thinking the old
bridge saddle metal has a different sound than the US
reissuse saddles. They are less bright sounding.
If you have trouble with your bridge lowereing from
playing vibrations, try this. I'm going to try this
today.
Take the bridge off the guitar, take out the two
height adjustment screws, get two small allen screws
that will thread into the bridge posts. Screw them all
the way up towards the top of the bridge, then screw
in the original allen screws. To get the bridge at the
proper height you will have to take the bridge off and
adjust the screws. After you have the height set, lock
them by tightening the small allen screws from the top
off the bridge.
