Gotoh 510 Piezo?

[yyz2112]

I have a body drilled for a Gotoh 510, but was interested in subbing a piezo bridge.Does anyone know offhand what piezo bridge would be compatible with the stud spacing? I'll do some looking around, but was wondering if anyone might have a quick answer.

Ok, trying to answer my own question, still need advice.
Maybe a more realistic approach is to buy piezo saddles that would fit the 510. Does such an animal exist?

tfarny was saying that he thought the Pigtail wraparound bridge offered at Stewmac would fit the 510 rout...more of a trad looking bridge . maybe the bridge would take the graphtech piezo saddles?

I was about to say that. Check out the graph tech ghost system.
I'm not sure if they offer saddles for that bridge, but it wouldn't hurt to find out.

I thought I found a link to a Gotoh 510S-4 Piezo bridge, but it seemed bogus.  :dontknow:

Graphtech does offer a TOM piezo bridge, but I dont think its available as individual saddles, and I suspect it wouldn't be an easy retrofit like the others which are available as saddles. Since 510 is in the TOM family, you might find it easier to just go TOM/STP. Not exactly what you wanted I know, but probably as close as you're likely to get off the shelf.

I have Ghost Saddles that do not fit in a 510. There are no hole under the saddles for the wires either. There maybe something out there but I'm not sure

As others have said, you can't easily use the Ghost saddles with the 510 bridge, but could replace the bridge with a Ghost loaded Resomax bridge like this one, which has the same 82mm post spacing.

Here is the link for it on Graph Tech's site:

Dont forget to order from a dealer (do not order directly from Graphtech unless you want to pay an extra $100)
