Thanks for the replies and links! I found most of what I needed at WDmusic.com for comparable prices. Still cant locate just saddles though. Any suggestions on how to clean the existing ones without maring the plating. also they have some pitting and I dont want to use something that will accelerate corrosion on down the road.

Thanks again for the help thus far!

I think you will find everything you are looking for now. Just wanted to add that if the saddles started pitting already I would definitely just change them, as everything else is going to be shining like a diamond so you might as well have it all done.

Yeah. I was thinking the same thing. Still cant find JUST saddles though. Got an email out to angela's (they have a gold bridge I can just take the saddles from) but if it saves a few bucks its worth the email.

Thanks for the help, and thanks for that link Martian!

Ironically, I'm considering converting all my gold Strat hardware over to 'silver'.

I hear ya! Not big on gold hardware myself. I'm restoring an SRV for resale and kind of have to stick with the gold to keep its value up.
