Nice! I love that purple color. Wish it was still available on the Silo Specials. Vinnie Moore used to play one like that with a floyd rose tremolo

It's a Willinson/Gotoh VSVG Vintage Tremolo -finding just the saddles may prove to be a bit of work. STEWMAC
has the whole bridge - a bit pricey. maybe you can find the whole bridge elsewhere for less.

that's a character filled guitar! NICE!
Seems expensive, for 50 dollars more i think i can buy an piezo.
what do you think to install a piezo in this guitar?

Piezo could be a nice idea if you get all the bits to fit in the control cavity, though they don't sound great through a regular amp, IMO.
Thanks for your reply.
Thats is what i would like to know! if all the bits fits in the cavity control. and i think i need to put another output jack

Well, it depends what piezo system you get. There are several aftermarket ones. You could keep the jack btw, you might just have to replace it with a stereo one. All depends what you want to do with it.
I'd suggest doing some basic research, have a look at the companies that make piezo systems and see what they recommend.

LR Baggs X-Bridge for Fender US Standard Strat | eBay
and it needs this too
LR Baggs CTRL-X Preamp for LR Baggs Acoustic Strat X-Bridge (897042002150) | eBay

There are a few others I can think of ...
- Graph Tech
- Fishman
- RMC Pickups
I've installed the Graph Tech Ghost system before, it's nice. They all make good products, they're all a little different in terms of functionality, electronics, etc.
I'd read through some reviews on various sites, etc. if I were in your shoes and price things out before making any decisions.
Just my two cents, but it may not be cost effective for you to go this route , just b/c your old saddles were corroded. Plus it's often tough to get the money back on resale.
