I stronly believe the offset Bridge saddles are not available any more, check this with the CS

CS is who I ordered the saddles from. What do you mean, "offset"? Do you mean saddles that are compensated for height/neck radius?? I told the guy what I had and he said the saddles were direct replacements for what I had...I bought one for the high E and one for the G.

The mounting screw of the saddle in not in the center (EVH) and to my understanding they are not available any more cause the new Gotoh has centered ones. Maybe they have spares??? Good luck

Gotcha. At this point, as long as it works and "looks" original I'll be happy. I can't find direct replacements other than from MM anywhere. I've been scouring ebay too...

Well, you were absolutely right. I finally got around to swapping it out and the new saddle does not fit =0!! Back to the drawing board on that...I did have an opportunity to install the oversized brass block and that turned out well:

This guitar was already loud acoustically. It sounds even bigger now...

Replace the whole unit if needed, have fun.
a before and after brassblock soundfiles would have been great, that´s interesting.

Well, it still functions so I will just keep on searching ebay until I find one. I did want to do a comparison but I'm too damn impatient. Maybe the next time I replace the strings I'll put the old one back on and record some clips.
