Is the string spacing on the 6 saddle bridge on the reissue '72 Tele Deluxe 10.5 mm or the 10.8 mm? I'm looking into getting stainless steel modern saddles for it.

Can you measure your current saddles? (a serious question; I'm not trying to be sarcastic)

Hi George - it's for a Tele I've got planned. The big drawback for me is the vintage saddles - they rust quickly with my sweat. I wanted to be sure there was some form of replacement available (the stainless steel ones do the trick on my other guitars) and needed the right measurement so that I could order them. Can't seem to find any info though...

Makes sense.

How about a local Fender dealer with one of these in stock? Just take a good ruler, like an engineer's scale, into the store with you.

You've probably thought of that, though.

I tend to think it's 10.8mm as the 10.5mm size seems to be more for inexpensive guitars like Squiers and the like. But that's just a guess.

Hopefully someone who owns one of these guitars will see your post and measure the saddles for you.

I was thinking 10.8 but wasn't sure if that was reserved for US guitars only.

I don't think there's any in stock around here but if I come across one I'll try and measure it - was hoping someone had the figure already.
