Tune-o-matic shimming

[SwedeNuck]

I was pondering today, and I was wondering where exactly you could get replacement saddle for a tune-o-matic bridge to shim the radius to say 18" instead of the average 12"?

Rather than replacing the saddle, just use a nut file and slot it like you would a nut. It will take longer because it's metal, but it works.

hmm, that would work, but be damn tedious

I've never seen anything like that...never really looked though. I've seen bridges with different radiai (?), but I don't know about 18.

well I'm thinking about compensating the radius for a warmoth compound radius neck which goes from 10-16" as it goes down the neck

Ahhh, I see. Maybe you should just get a stright radius...sorry, I'm not much help.
