Hello,

I got a issue with one of my h1 saddles. In the B string i get a strange vibration.. maybe stretching up the saddle springs, but i see some rusty marks on this particular saddle, as the B string gets stuck on the rusty position.
Is there a way do solve that with a home solution ?
How can i get these 'narrow saddles' for replacement with fender ? I live in Brazil so it could be difficult contacting Fender for replacement i think.
Or should i go for other saddles ? Ive looked up graphtech but only makes narrow saddles for teles.

Any suggestions would be nice.

Thanks.

I'd suggest the allparts narrow saddles.
I just put a set on my Hw1 because one of the screws in the stock set jammed and the hex stripped out of it. Couldn't adjust my high E string anymore and got tired of shimming it with a piece broken off a razor blade.
They're solid steel, and the guitar has more sustain now.
You can get them online.

Callaham also offers a set of saddles for the 2-1/16" vintage-style trem bridges. Forty dollars, plus the usual S&H.
