Suhr & Wilkinson locking saddles

[Corey James]

Should I go for it?

Why not!

i've wanted to try them since I saw them on Pete's guitar, but i have no idea about how effective they are. I figured binding probably happened at the nut more than at the bridge but I may be completely off base.

I got them on a Suhr Pete Thorn, and I installed them in two of my Strats.
They work well .

I'd use them but the logo/stamp on the aftermarket version puts me off. The only way to get them without the logo is to buy a guitar that they're offered with.

Just buy fixed bridge guitars and the problem is solved

Well, I committed. I’ll fine-tune it later.

Lol --But you're right !!

These work well, two of my guitars have the locking tuner/locking saddle combo and I’ll never go back to a Floyd.

I think the black flanged locking screws are 4mm…and are impossible to find if you drop one onstage, lol.

I had them on my Suhr Modern before I sold it. They definitely worked great. Biggest thing is make sure you don't overtighten that screw, because otherwise you will increase your likelihood of breaking a string. I went through a few high E's before I figured that out. It has to be tight enough to keep it in place, but not hulk smash tight.

Not a problem, I’ve built a guitar with a fixed bridge and it’s still my favorite.

I’m your huckleberry, but not until I retire.

I work so many hours it’s obscene, though I’m blessed with a great career that is able to pay the bills rather than eating Ramen noodles building guitars:
