New black bridge saddle for gibson 3 point style?

I'm possibly trading for a epi custom shop t bird, but it needs a bridge saddle replaced. I can find tons of nickel ones, but no black. Any hints?

1) Replace them all with Nickel for a sweet two-tone look.

2) Black nail-polish.

I just find it odd that epiphone puts out a ton of black 3 point pridges yet no saddles. And since when I get a bit more money, ill put on a hipshot supertone, so I don't want to blow a ton of money on a new bridge.

Agreed. A friend has a black 3-point he is replacing with Nickel. I'll ask him about the black this weekend. I do all his tech work/mods so I can probably get it free.

I wonder if graphite would work as a replacement. You'd have to shape it yourself though.

Probably not what you're looking for, just an idea.
