Hey guys,
Cutlass SSS advice needed on 2 aspects:
1. For a floating bridge which version is more recommended : bridge tilted forward or paralele with the guitar body?
I had it tilted and just changed to parallel.
Coming from JPs I see more logic in being parallel with the guitar body for perfect tuning stability.
The only downside for this version is how much you want to pull the tremolo bar upwards and what string action you want.
With the current saddles I have now the bridge plate at about 1.5 mm from the guitar body ,being able to have a half step bar pull on the high E.
The lowest action I can get this way is 1.5 mm on the high E and 2 mm on the low E measured at the 12 fret .
the E saddles are flush with the plate,can't go lower would have to buy new lower profile saddles .anyway needed a solution because those long screws are killer
I would like to get to about 1.3 mm high E and 1.7 mm low E action.
The current one is pretty difficult for my not healthy hands.
I had 1.25 mm /1.6 mm with the bridge tilted .
2. What replacement saddles people got ?
I am looking at Gotoh , S 11 set .
I've thought about replacing the screws but those are not cheap on Amazon in Europe and only solve the slicing hand part

Thx a lot
