Hi - I have 2 65 AVRI Strats that I love. I also have a Custom Shop 65 that had the older vintage saddles with the shorter string slots.

I would like to get a set of the new Pat Pending saddles for my CS65 as I had to install new Raw Vintage saddles since I developed a couple of burrs in my existing saddles and was breaking strings, and I'm not 100% crazy with the RV saddles.

Is Fender going to eventually sell the Pat Pending saddles separately as AVRI/Custom Shop parts and replace the older vintage Fender/Fender series?

Watch for someone to start parting out the new AVS Strats on Ebay (The Stratosphere would be a likely source).

thanks - I have! I've actually scored 2 extra 65AVRI loaded pickguards over the last year and I've seen necks and bodies as well, but I've not seen a single bridge or saddle set yet.
