Musician Bridge Problem

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys, i have a 79/80 Ibanez Musician and it has brass saddles, im looking to either get new chrome saddles (they seem to be larger then most) and screws or a new bridge, im looking for one that would be easy to fit, straight swap would be best.

any ideas on makes or outlets?

Here is a pic of it.

Measure them!
They superficially appear to be of a common design and very often add-on aftermarket bridges (such as Fender) may have the same size saddle.

The good thing is that you enclosed a picture initially when asking the question, therefore we both know what we're dealing with & get right to the heart of the matter.
Remember, if you find something you like, there is nothing to keep you from pulling the adjustment screws as well as the saddles. You'll have few problems, especially if you use a music store to do your measuring & purchase on-line to cut cost. Use a caliper if possible & try to write both the metric & SAE measurements so that you can go with the best deal.
