I have several guitars with Floyd. Both OFR(1000) and FRS.
I bought some replacement saddles for a FRS from Sweetwater, and they are dimensionally different than the blocks on all my other guitars. On my other guitars, the part the holds the string protrudes up a few mm above the block. On the new saddles, the string is flush with the block, maybe even recessed a bit.
The blocks are not interchangeable without replacing all of them, which defeats the purpose as they are replacements for when a saddle breaks.
Has any else noticed a difference in manufacturing? On the Floyd Rose site, the majority of pics show the string elevated from the block, but there are a few pics with the strings flush with the block. I don't know if this is an intentional change or a manufacturing defect.
Anyone else see this?
