I paid about $56 including shipping from
this eBay seller.
I got it about a week ago to replace the stock bridge on a Squier Vintage Modified Thinline. I like the sound of it very much but I must say that I had a few disappointments about it.
First, there were 2 burrs on the upper flanges edge that I had to take a dremel buffer wheel to so it wouldn't scratch the !#@% out of me. While the plating is quite good, those burrs should have been removed before the plating - kinda makes me wonder if mass producing them is cutting in on the quality they are meant to have.
Second, I had to end up putting a neck shim in (or get shorter screws - or file the original screws) because they are quite long and to top that, they have razor sharp edges that will fillet your fingers in a heart beat.
Overall, I would say I like the saddles a lot, intonation was a breeze and went quickly except for the low E which is very close but not quite intonated (it's a tiny tad sharp). The A is right on.
Would I buy another one?
Well, I would buy
the saddles again. Although the bridge plate is nice and thick, I too have the problem with the string through holes being a little wider. It just makes it a bit of a pain in the butt on a restring. I suppose that's a little nit picky...
