Yes you will have to replace the saddle - which will also mean removing the trem block then unscrewing the printed circuit board (PCB) after unsoldering the wire from the piezo pre amp.
You will then have to unsolder the piezo saddles from the PCB and resolder the new wires/saddles onto the PCB. The soldering has to be neat and flat otherwise the pcb will short out on the trem block. It's not a dead easy job and you have to have your wits about you!!
Piezo PCB unscrewed from trem block
Trem block all disassembled - you can see that I've marked an "R" on the PCB with an indelible pen to show where the reverse wound saddles go
Bring it to the knucklehead bash and I'll do it for you?

Spud so that means that the guitar need to be reset after this "operation"?

The intonation would need to be reset for each saddle that you replace, height adjustment - general set up check really.

Strings n things are wholesale and supply EB dealers and people with trade accounts.
My Luthier buddy got them for me trade as he has an account with Strings n Things - I guess retail would be £20+.
Re the case - I'm pi55ed off because its happened on three of mine - and I see no sense in approaching CS on it.
I am going to drill through the case and webbing and use a small nut n bolt n washer. I've tried sticking it back but it just came away

I will probably have to open acc with them as well to get these saddles.I will pm you if they will refuse to sell it so maybe we will sort it out other way.
Re:Re case
I thought about nut'n'bolt thing as well but i just dont have enough courage to do it(not enough confidence sh1t!)
