String Savers on EVH ?

[JT1]

I bought the Graph Tech Saddle Savers for my EVH cause I play a lot and break strings. Problem is the Floyds on the EVH have offset saddles. Anyone deal with this? The link for the saddles are below.

I couldn't load the page you have listed. But I'm wondering where the strings are breaking? If it's in front of the saddle (where it usually seems to happen for me) I'm not sure the graph tech saddles will help you. Especially on a locking Floyd bridge. I'm surprised they even sell them for a locking Floyd bridge.

If you're still sure you want to replace them, you'll have to get offset saddles. I don't see another way.

I fitted them to my Axis with the Gotoh Floyd and they work like magic, I had buffed and smoothed and lubed my saddles to within an inch of their lives and still developed burrs...particularly on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th strings.

The string savers have been on since early September and I have not broken one string since. Awesome invention, they are definately worth it.

Not sure what to suggest about the EVH saddles tho.

I'd call Graph Tech directly and ask them- they're familiar with a lot of EBMM guitars. Lea, their R&D guy, is really helpful.
