Thanks all! Yes these saddles all had the offset screws so it was a slam dunk for the Bender install. I merely drilled a small hole in the rear edge of the bridge and created a slot on the back edge of the B saddle itself. What's interesting is that I noticed no saddle squeaking or the need for lubrication. Not sure if this is a permanent trait of this sort of saddle though. This install was for a friend who is real excited to be in Bender world. He's happily now re-producing Mike Campbell's Mudcrutch bender licks, while before he was wondering "How'd he do that? ;-)
