Hello folks,

I´m buying a new set of bridge springs for my Highway One, the ones that came stock with it seems a bit strange, the high B and E saddle springs are loose and vibrating under heavy playing.

Witch one is the right one for my Highway ? .243"X.170" or .319"X.170" ?

Sounds like you have the E and B saddle pretty far forward, so I would go for the longer springs. But double-check the intonation and see if the saddles can be moved back any.

Mate, can´t find someone to ship some Bridge Saddle Springs worldwide!
Can someone ship some for me, or recommend a place online so I can order ? I can pay with paypal.

joaokorb,

Measure the gap that you have now between your saddle and the back of the bridge plate, to see which spring length that you need. Since 1 in = 25.4 mm, if my math is correct, the ".243 in" would be just over 6 mm (6.1722 mm), and the ".319 in" would be just over 8 mm (8.1026 mm). :idea:
