Hi, long time no see.
I have a question. Will I have any issues using the new pure vintage patent pending saddles on a post 2006 American Special/hwy 1 bridge with the vintage screw spacing and narrow string spacing.

What's wrong with the saddles currently on the guitar?

I have one strat with the narrow spacing and one with the wide. Sometimes the high e slides off the edge of the fretboard on the vintage wide style, but it's probably my lack of technique more than the guitar.

Oh come on Pat Pending saddles have far more mojo :wink:

I did swap mine on Odee. Being a 60's recreation that seemed appropriate, along with aluminium pickguard shield, waxed cloth wiring. hand wound PUPs etc etc. I don't really see the point on a non vintage, or non vintage recreation though.
