If you're talking about the Vintage Tremolo Saddles, then yes. I just got done putting a set of the GraphTeck Saddles on my Axis Super Sport, and they work fine. Actually they work GREAT.

One of the driving reasons for me to get a Music Man was because my Strat was being a pain in the but and not staying in tune.
I tried everything and resigned to blocking the Trem and just not use it.

But the MM Vintage Tremolo with Graphtech saddles and locking tuners, it's a dream come true.


But that is just my experience so far, ultimately it's up to you.
I say just try them, you certainly won't hurt the guitar if they don't work right. You can always put the originals back on. At the worst, you may break a string or two.

By the way, this will be the only mod I will do to my ASS...well maybe chrome knobs...Or Pearl like the tuners (do they make those?)

I use the Graphtech 'string saver' saddles on my Silhouette Special.... I still break strings though. Broke another D last night.

I can't help you with your answer but welcome to the forum anyway

I've put the standard black and the white tusq ones on other guitars. Never needed it on a Music Man.

The black ones took away a little of the top end sparkel. The white ones too, but they sounded more woody than the black ones. I went back to the metal saddles, except for one really bright guitar.

Won´t fit since they are no offset design, regular axis no problem - but the old Gotoh NO

I have done it, but my EVH is a Hardtail.

I am pleased to say that my guitar collector is wibbly-wobbler free!

I have graph techs on my Axis SS hardtail......good addition,...harmonics are a little sharper, and now the high E string isn't so close to the edge of the fretboard. They have a bunch of graph tech models,...just make sure you look at the E to E spacing, and see if it is larger, smaller than stock.,..ie,..what you are looking for, I think the 8000 model is the one for the hard tail...not sure about Floyd
