Super Vee Bladerunner saddle height screws dimensions ?

[greekdude]

Hi
Does anyone happen to know the supervee bladerunner saddle height screws dimensions ?
They measure around 8mm in height, 2.75mm outer dia, 1.25 inner (alen) dia.

Those seem fragile, I'd like something more robust and more durable, when I got the trem they were not tight into the saddles, now the threads start wear.​

How do I order those? I mean how do I search for the specs of those.

I would just email them. I have a Bladerunner, but currently it is on a guitar all packed up and ready to be shipped out. The saddles aren't fragile at all, btw. They work really well.

Thank you Mincer, I got this blade runner for about 14 years or so, the saddles are OK, but the height screws no so much. I suspect they are american-sized (1.27mm?) , cause my alen (1.25mm dia) barely has a any grip on them, so maybe I miss smth. Anyway, from the start the screws were not tight.

I want to say they are American, but I swear my Bladerunner came with an allen wrench that worked with it, and I didn't test it to see if it was metric or not.

The spacing surely isn't American (10.5mm per saddle), and the screws to the body were low quality, stripped the heads almost, but anyway, I better find the original packaging , hoping to find the alen.

Halo !, most probably I gave the original alen to my son, anyway, yesterday I found some spare saddle height screws that fit perfectly, 0.8mm and 1mm heights respectively. I replaced the stripped ones and kinda cleaned the unit a little bit. Also I found out that a torx 5 can fit the hex heads perfectly!!! IMHO the allen needed must be a 1.3mm one. Still cannot decide if those screws/threads are imperial or metric though

Happy you got it up and running. I really like the SuperVee. I just ordered a VegaTrem, so I will see how it compares.

Thanks for the hint!! This VegaTrem seems to go both ways, floating, with the unit staying in parallel to the body, in contrast to supervee bladerunner which like a vintage design needs a certain angle to the body !! Definitely a good find Mincer , please write a review when you get yours !

Yes, I will! I am installing it in a new Warmoth build, so I have to wait for the body and neck to get here, but I am pretty excited to try it.

Hello just a follow up, went and bought a micro-electronics screwdrivers kit which include an 1.3 hex allen key among others. This is the size of the allen wrench needed!

Fantastic! Mystery solved!

Fantastic! Mystery solved!

What remains unsolved is the thread of the height screws (imperial vs metric), and their outer diameter! Hmm Floyd Rose saddle screws are M3, is those can fit the Bladerunner saddle bushing's thread then this will be completely solved!
