Lost a saddle on my JP6 bridge...

[adamrogo]

Yea so doing a divebomb, somehow one of the little metal saddles on the bridge came off... You know, not the whole string saddle, but the little metal peice, where the peizo would be.

The guitar has no piezo. Is it possible to replace this tiny piece? Any suggestions?

Thanks alot!

They said I have to buy another whole saddle, not just the part that popped out during a flutter. 40 bucks, ughhh. Not even another suggestion.

darn.

It may be because the parts are only fabricated as a unit.

From your post, I am assuming you've lost the string saddle piece?

Because if you still have it, it would be easy to glue back into place.

$40 is crazy! Hope this never happens to mine. Yikes. That's about 1/3 the cost of an entire Wilkinson bridge.

The saddles are actually Fishman pickups, which we get completed. That is the reason the are expensive.

In the original post, it says it's non-piezo.

It's the same saddle.

Ah, I didn't know that. I was actually wondering about that.

You answered my question! Hehehe

Well, right now im using the saddle, without the actual little saddle piezo piece, to hold the string up, if that makes sense. I just had to raise the saddle, to compensate for the loss of the little part, and moved back the saddle to fix intonation. Seems to worrk just fine for now.

Maybe I could get the part from Fishman? I really don't need a whole new saddle assembly...
