Space Angel Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Hi all, first time post. Great to be here! Anyway, I have a 1994 Sheraton with gold plated hardware. It’s got a nice worn patina going, but the saddles are pretty toasted. The slots are worn super deep. I’m looking for good quality, preferably gold plated saddles, and I’m looking for suggestions. I don’t really want the zinc or “pot metal” type if I can help it. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbberry Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Stewmac has replacement saddles that might work. They’re not notched so you may have to take it to a pro. They also recommend getting replacement saddle screws as well https://www.stewmac.com/parts-and-hardware/all-hardware-and-parts-by-instrument/electric-guitar-parts/electric-guitar-saddles/saddles-for-abr-1-tune-o-matic-bridges.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01GT eibach Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I'd recommend changing out the entire bridge and tailpiece. Especially since they are gold plated, it would look nice to get new ones. On my 79 SG Standard, the saddles get really worn down and the tailpiece gets super decayed due to my right hand placement. When they get so worn down , I change them both out ... You can always start a new patina. Keep the original parts with the guitar though. Just my opinion.
