LIII for me - love it - plus some new saddles

[jptortor]

I am the proud owner of an LIII SSH now. I love it. I always hesitated due to the passive singles. It never dawned on me from the specs that they are actually stacked Humbucker or some other form of noiseless single. Awesome.

But the real reason for the post is these awesome saddles I got for it. They’re Wilkinson and they lock the string in place at the saddle. It was stable before but now it’s really on par with a true locking system.

Anyway. This is an awesome guitar. Thanks EBMM!

Brilliant, I’ve been wondering if they would fit a musicman trem

Neat! I wondered that as well. Good to know.

Is it tough to get the radius right setting up individual saddles?

Not particularly. It’s just measuring the distances of the string to the fret to get them where you want them. I’m positive I don’t have mine set up to perfectly match the radius. The high e is lower than the low e.

Very nice. Just added some graphtechs to mine.

I finished up my Sterling Luke HH i got for free with new tighter and better Pots, Gibson 61 Pickups, Graphtech saddles, Gotoh Locking Tuners and Rosewood appointments on Knobs, Switch, and Tuner Buttons I had in my guitar shop. This thing sings and just feels right! Pics coming...
