GraphTech Saddles; was Re: Jazzmaster trem rattle

Brian Neal (xarxas) - 20 Dec 2004 18:00:57

Bob,
Do you have problems with the inter-saddle spacing with the GraphTechs?
It's my understanding the saddles aren't as wide as the stock saddles.
Do your strings wiggle around as a result?
I got a set of repro Mustang saddles and found this to be the case as
well. I had to get a set of vintage Mustang saddles which are indeed the
same width as the stock Jaguar saddles. I could not stand the strings
moving around during heavy double picking.
Thanks,
BN
