I don't understand "missle piece" do you mean the saddle? Anyways if the bridge plate is cracked you can get a aftermarket component online, just look around at like guitarfetish.com , allparts or stew mac. Maybe you could do a search with google to find websites. You can also try your local GC or other music store that carries parts. Oh yeah, yes that is repairable.Good luck.

Well...-if- you are talking about what I think you are talking about, this would probably be a fairly easy repair. I would suggest posting some pictures of the actual damage just to be sure but it sounds like what you need to do is remove most of the hardware...the bridge (leave the studs in though), the pickguard, etc., then apply a little bit of wood glue in the crack and clamp it up fairly tightly until the glue sets. Do make sure you use wood glue specifically not something like "super glue"...personally I recommend original Titebond. I've even glued up body blanks with the stuff and it hasn't failed me yet.

It's either that or take it to a professional.

Again some good clear pictures of the damage would be very helpful.

I hope this helps...good luck!

oh hey man well i actually got it fixed but i cant get the pics but when you put a bridge on a squier they have the 6 bridge screws in the front that hold it to a piece of wood then behind that under the pickguard its hollow so it was falling out but i ended up putting metal rods all the way to the other side to the solid wood on th outsides...but ya it was pretty easy once i got down barebones?
