will do... my silo is in bits at the moment - i'm replacing the neck and all the hardware as it has corroded really badly after 12 + yrs of abuse!

as soon as it's back together, i'll post some pics...

Hey JT3, Here is the deal. Ernie Ball will let you trade in your whole trem unit minus the locking nut for a brand new Music Man Gotoh unit for $100 (don't quote me on the price, but I seem to remember that was the cost as Ernie Ball makes no money on the deal...they just do it as a service). This is the best deal running since the offset saddles are not available and the Axis saddles will not work on the EVH trem. Hope this helps!

jim...is that offer still availabe? or are you not sure?

jon? got an idea?

i heard back from beth at customer support yesterday. unfortunately they don't sell the saddles for the evh floyd rose's any more

i have bought a musicman axis / morse floyd rose (it will fit my silo without the need for any drilling / routing apparently)...

you could also use a gotoh floyd rose (i have checked and they also fit), but obviously, it will have a gotoh logo on it rather than a musicman one (they are £90 cheaper though!!! )

The Gotoh saddles work in this situation but I can't find them anywhere. Does anyone know how to get only the offset saddles?

Thanks guys. This forum is always a blast. of info. from the coolest guys.

I don't think Gotoh ever made offset saddles for their own Floyd Roses... Only for the ones they made for EBMM... Now even the ones they make for EBMM won't fit, so you'll have to buy a whole new trem system...

what about the EB trade in for $100 deal? is that still in affect?

That's not a bad deal except I'm not interested in losing the original bridge for a replacement. I'd like to keep it all original. If the saddles on the Gotoh work why can't you just buy the saddles?

 

[Jim Warnstedt]

The straight saddles do not work on the offset base and vise versa. They are not interchangeable.

Not to beat this to death....have you called Customer Service? That is where this needs to be addressed so they can help you out.

Like Koogie says, you´re just one phone call away and all your questions will be answered.
And they don´t yell at newbies anymore like they used to ))))))

Give them a call
