Even better, for the type of center screw/saddle, bridge pictured previously in this thread .....drill/tap saddle for a 10-32, 3/4" brass screw, drill said screw right down the center with a 3/32" drill, open up bridge to accept new, 10-32 screw, and you're done. As is apparent from my photo, this will work with most any bender, but works especially well with the hipshot, which has less tension over the saddle than most. The brass screw is self lubricating, and provides the perfect tension. Intonate with a string through the body, and then string 'er up through the saddle screw. Vintage style bridges with the 3 barrel saddle setup, usually, are a much easier install.
