Anyone know where to buy them?

 

I haven't seen an place yet

 

And would they work on a Nashville bridge?

 

I have ask and the answer I got is no.

 

 

Or are they made for the ABR-1 Bridge?

 

So far that is what I believe, but then again I could be proven wrong.

I had a Firebird V from the '60's that had an ABR-1 bridge which was originally fitted with nylon saddles. I changed them out for metal saddles. You might do a search for people who sell vintage guitar parts to see if someone has some used nylon saddles for sale.

Awesome! Thanks Dave!

I;ll have to find an allparts dealer because the last time I ordered a Maestro tailpiece and they said they couldn't verify the bank or something.....

I wanted to see if they actually damper a string's brightness like Bonamassa believes they do.

Nylon saddles were never very popular. I was wondering why you decided to go with them? They used to fit them on Ovation solid body electrics and most people changed them for metal saddles.

 

 

Because you can warm up the E, B, G Strings kind of like what Joe Bonamassa does on his signature guitar.
