I recently treated myself to a 2010 Musicman Silhouette Special HSS Hardtail with Piezo bridge, but the 'A' string saddle doesn't work.
Therefore, I need a Piezo saddle for a 2010 Musicman Silhouette, as the saddles and preamp were changed in 2013.

After lots of email to-ing and fro-ing, it seems that for me to buy new, I have to buy the newer saddles which also requires the new preamp, which will come to £304. I am obviously reluctant to shell out this much money to simply replace one saddle.

Therefore, if anybody out there has a 2010 Piezo saddle or even a few of them, I would be most happy if you could sell them to me.

regards,

Dave

To widen your window a bit, any EBMM non-JP piezo saddle for a guitar manufactured between 2001-2010 (likely up to 2012ish) will look the same. The JP saddles of that era are different and will fit, but not look the same.

To be more particular and narrow it down to get an exact match for your particular guitar, you would want to remove your existing saddle and flip it over. On the underside may be an R stamp and/or 1-2 dots of colored paint (some saddles may not have any of these markings). The paint color and number of dots signify saddle output levels relative to a "control" saddle, and the presence of an R stamp means that saddle is reverse phase (not incredibly essential).

Good luck, I wish I had one that would be correct for you!
