Replace Electra bridge?

jBuGG · 04-06-2012, 03:20 PM

This is the current bridge on my Electra. I wanted to replace the nylon saddles because they were all worn out. Can you recommend what kind of saddles (and maybe the screws too) will fit this old bridge? It is ABR-type.

Should I just replace the whole bridge with a set? I was looking at these 2 from Guitarfetish:

Gibson-style brass TOM bridge

Wilkinson roller bridge

Thanks!!

Might as well replace it. Gfs or Stewmac are pretty fair on prices. If it matters, Stewmac's have brass saddles like the original ABR-1's.
