New Bent Steel Saddles for EBMM Silo Special

[jdmac]

Hi all,

Looking for some direction,
I have a 2002 (I think) I bought it used a while ago...anyway the saddles on it are very worn and rusting. They will not adjust anymore either (Screws rusted in some holes)

They are the regular bent steel saddles. I have spent some time getting the guitar back in good shape and i want to be able to adjust and intonate it properly. Can i use Fender Strat Bent saddles? Or can i order them? Seems like a hassle for some saddles but i really need them, Thanks!

You can order them right from EBMM. Contact the customer service folks and they'll hook you up.

Cool, Thanks i will do that. I was thinking that since you can't just order online from their website that it meant they were not available?

Guess i'm so used to technology that i forgot about phones????

I have a couple of sets of saddles musicman saddles, but it might not be worth posting them to the states.

Or will it? How much are they from EBMM?

I went for titanium saddles on my Luke and Silo cus I sweat far too much when I play.

You can also try Graptech 'string saver' saddles. I added them to my Silhouette Special and they fit just fine. (I still break strings with them though. I think it's my playing rather than the saddle).

That was one reason i posted this thread, i wasn't sure due to string spacing etc. if you could get away using another brand like a Graphtech or even a Callaham Strat bent saddle?

It's good to know that you are using the string saver if i decided to go that route.

Thanks for all the advice.

I called customer service today and ordered the bent steel saddles direct from EBMM.
Great service, nice helpful people and it showed me what a great company they really are.
He (Scott I think) also told me that the guitar was made in January 2001 and that the color was called Pearl Lavender and is not available anymore.

Anyway he said 5-days and i will have them at the bargain price of $39.50/set shipped.

That's why I have a titanium toilet.
