Anyone ever replace the saddles on a Sterling JR7? Upgrading everything on this guitar and wanted to go with roller saddles. Any experience with this or any advice?

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Roller saddles work fine but you may or may not notice any difference in actual performance. You'll also note they are not very common in the industry because they're not that much better than normal saddles that justifies the extra complexity and price of production. If you find roller saddles that have the correct string spacing, by all means go for it! Please come back and tell us how you get on!
