Small posts on the bridge that don't have a screwdriver slot for adjustments. Also, the posts are screwing into wood and not a bushing.

Metric import style bridges have a large post that you can adjust from the top with a flathead screwdriver and bushings pressed into the wood that the posts screw into.

That's still not the right bridge.

What you have on that guitar appears to be an ABR-1 style bridge like the picture below, or at least has ABR-1 style posts (does yours have a wire across the intonation screws?).

Nope, no wire.

So it's a modified ABR-1 style bridge. Wonder if it has the same post spacing as a real ABR.

Either way, the Nashville type and the import type bridges won't work without removing wood.

I'm not home right now, but I'm sure we could figure out which saddles to get once I can take a look at different bridges. Graphtech makes a bunch of different versions of the ToM type saddles. I'm willing to bet Gotoh made that bridge, though.

I'm pretty sure this is the bridge that's currently on there. There's two models that Gotoh makes but the other one is longer in the saddle adjustment dimension.

That one looks pretty spot on !

So can we determine which saddles (saddle savers) will fit on there ?

If any at all !




PS : i like that Titanium model :headbang:

I haven't seen anything on the Googles where anybody's put String Savers on that bridge. Best way to be 100% absolutely sure is to pop the bridge off when you string (make sure you don't move the adjusters for bridge height) and examine the bridge. See what it's labeled on the bottom and pull out one of the saddles to measure. There's a couple different String Savers that might fit it, so you just want to be sure you get the right one so they fit right.
