Does any one make replacement saddles that fit the American Standard 6 saddle bridge? I'm looking for brass or steel which are different from the stock saddles. I'm not interested in converting it to a 3 saddle bridge. Thanks in advance!

MannMade has a direct replacement bridge- kinda pricy, though. Steel baseplate with brass saddles.

The MannMade ClassicTele™ Bridge:

I think (but I can't swear to it) that you can get individual saddles from AllParts, but that part of their website seems to be down right now. Seems like I remember seeing individual sets there at one time, but I might be wrong.

If you can find them, probably any saddle with the intonation adjustment screw on the bass side will work.

I'm guessing you're not interested in the GraphTech composite offering...

Thanks! I'm not looking at the Graph Tech saddles at present. I've heard too much dubious things about them loosing the high end to be interested.

...makes 3 saddle brass replacements for AmStds. A great tone improvement. I have no commercial interest, just a good product. Look in Review Zone.
