WTB VS100 Saddles

[pabloman]

Hey guys, I'm looking for some Wilkinson saddles. Let me know if you have any laying around. Thanks :headbang1:

Those are tough to find. I did find some Graphtec replacements at Guitar Electronics, if you're interested.

They're a bit pricey at $55, but they're supposedly an "upgrade" saddle.

Your other choice might be to buy a whole Wilkinson-style bridge from Guitar Fetish...

Get away for $48 that way, and end up with other spare parts in the deal.

Good ideas. Thanks Cagey :guitaristgif:

If you go graphtec - you can always get the ghost piezo saddles... you know you want them.

 

[pabloman]

I sure do.  :headbang:

 

[swarfrat]

I thought about it too. But I'm not sure adding expense and complexity to a project that's already stalled for funds and time availability is a good idea. If I could do it without carving out a second jack it'd be more tempting.

I sure wish it had a simpler output system.

 

[pabloman]

You can use one output jack. It would be a stereo one. Then you would use a TRS cable. When you have a regular cord plugged in the toggle switch controls your output.

I really wish I could get an all brass saddle on my wilky to brighten up my low E string.  :-\

 

[Cagey]

They're already stainless steel. Brass isn't going to do anything for you.

Not trying to hijack, but I'm wondering if anyone could explain to me how Guitar Fetish offers so much stuff for such a low price. Someone was raving about how good the GFS Vintage Strat pickups were.

I see entire guitars on there for cheap, like this Jazzmaster copy for 169 (http://store.guitarfetish.com/XV-JT40-Offset-Floating-trem-P90-pickups-Vintage-Cream-ZG-916_p_4072.html) ... is it made of sawdust and chewing gum?

Made in China, ergo lower labor costs, lower QC standards (sorta, anyway - looking at YOU, Gibson), lower cost of regulatory compliance, yadda yadda yadda.  Also, willing to accept lower margins in order to move more units.

A little resurrection here.....anybody have some saddles to donate/trade/sell??

 

[swarfrat]

I have a set of gold VS100 saddles, if that'll work for you send me a PM and make me an offer.
