Fender Vintage bass saddles width?

Sign in to disble this ad
Can anyone tell me the width of the threaded type saddles on the Fender vintage replacement bridge? Can't seem to find it anywhere and am wondering if I can replace/modify a bridge to fit these.

Should be 3/4" I'd think. That's the distance between the strings centers.

So, the threaded old-school ones are the same width as the single-groove later ones? I think it should be, but would like someone to verify. Thanks.

Width is the same. Newer "high mass" Fender bridges have thicker saddles, but the edge to edge width is the same.
