Toner Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I was wondering if there are any single nickel plated brass ABR-1 saddles available from Gibson, or aftermarket somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Yes. I've had to rebuild two ABR's over the years (including re-arching one of them). I got the saddles from a vintage guitar dealer. Although probably not available over the counter at GC, any good tech should be able to hook you up. The worst case senario is that you have to buy a new ABR and rob the saddles off of it.

Toner Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Yeah, I looked around for PRBS-01, and all I could find was chrome. Admin, why does'nt Gibson offer single nickel saddles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadhog96 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 This is the only place I have found that sells nickel saddles for ABR-1 http://home.insightbb.com/~blackriderguitars/parts.html#newparts Highlite this intire url address and copy and paste it, I don't know why the whole thing will not highlite as a web address. Only half of it is highlited. You could call or email them and ask if they will sell just one. They list them as a set of six for $20.00. You might have to buy a new bridge and use one of the saddles from it and keep the pother for spares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
