(Up to and including year 2007 model)
In order to meet the demand for a high quality vintage styled saddle for American Standard guitars, we now offer narrower vintage styled saddles for American Standard guitars. Not only do they sound far better than the stock cast saddles, they look so much better. These saddles are specifically for American Standard styled bridges with the offset intonation screw. These saddles will work on either Strats or Teles with this style bridge. They are supplied with all stainless steel 4-40 screws. The E strings come with 1/4 length height screws and 5/16 length height screws for the others.
Replaces cast saddles.

Replacement saddles for 2008 and later Am. Std. Model

 
 
 

Please note: We do not make a complete 2-pivot bridge assembly for American Standard guitars.

 
 

Note: about American Standard Premium Upgrade kit for 2008 and later Am. Std. model. The much touted new American Standard Bridge is very disappointing. The block is still a cast scrap metal, vibration dampening, tone soak. Calling it "all metal" is like saying OSB construction board is all wood.

We have ready to ship Premium Upgrade kits that contain our superior 100 percent cold rolled steel enhanced block, a virtual pop-in arm, tremolo springs and a superior set of saddles to replace those "things" they call saddles.

 
 
 
 

Important ...
If you have an American Deluxe guitar (pop-in arm), see American Deluxe Upgrades for correct Upgrade path.
