Daniel Schmolze Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 I'm planning an 8-string build, and I'd like to use individual Wilkinson saddles for the bridge (it's gonna be a multiscale design). You'd think this would be an easy thing to find, but my Google skills are severely failing me on this one. Anyone know a source? Followup question: can I mount the saddles right onto the body, assuming I'm using a dense wood like Bubinga or Wenge? Thanks! P.S. - Build #2 is almost done, stay tuned for pics...

WezV Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 the graphtech versions i am using are available direct from graphtech surprisingly enough http://www.graphtech.com/products.html?Pro...mp;CurrencyID=2 i did notice the other day a uk supplier that was selling some very cheap chrome ones http://www.axesrus.com/axehardware.htm#Saddles i use mine mounted to an ebony plate... the saddles are only 6mm tall so make sure you have room for all your hardware if mounting direct to the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Schmolze Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Thanks Wez. Looks like Graphtech may be the way to go. I just find it odd that nobody stocks cheap replacements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
