Help! I Can't Find Axis Super Sport Piezo Bridge Saddles!!!

[jackm]

Hi folks, I hope you can help me. I have a wonderful Axis Super Sport with the piezo pickup in the bridge saddles, part number RB027W. Unfortunately, a wire has become detached, and I cannot source a new saddle (images are attached). I am based in the UK, but I will happily buy from overseas if necessary. Can anybody help?

Many thanks in advance!

This bridge has to be sourced by EBMM from someone....either Gotoh or Wilkinson, no?
In that case, you could get a full set of replacement Ghost saddles from Graphtech, perhaps which have the Piezo wiring in the saddle.

I changed out the saddles on a friend's Luke III with the Graphtech units (not the Piezo saddles) but they fit perfectly and worked great. Might be worth a try to check.

Thank you for the top advice! I last sourced one from Strings Direct in the UK, but if Ghost have a piezo option I’ll look into it. The piezo bridge sounds amazing and I wanna keep this feature. Cheers!!

Those saddles are no longer produced. I had to change one on my Silhouette, but couldn't find any. Eventually I got a brand new JP set from EBMM and swapped them all out. They said I might have to change the preamp as well because the newer saddles had a much lower output. I had no issues with low output, but I recommend to try with new saddles first. You can change the preamp later if needed.
Don't know how the Graph Tech ones would work with the EBMM preamp. These are Fishman saddles.
Best thing would be to contact your UK dealer for a brand new set.

Thank you for this. I actually did exactly this last year; switched them for a set of JP ones (slightly horseshoe-shaped) which, as you say, are notable quieter and I needed an external preamp to make them loud enough. This is becoming a nightmare!
I will continue on my search, but thanks again for your help here!
