Help needed with broken Jackson PS2 licensed Floyd Rose saddle

[leandroaveiro]

Hi everyone, first of all sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place. It's my first post and didn't find any other categories that would fit my question.

 

I have an old Jackson PS2, about 20 years old and one of the saddles on my bridge simply cracked in half while changing the strings. I've attached a photo of the damage here.

Being an old guitar, I'm having trouble finding replacement parts without having to replace the entire bridge.

 

Closest thing I found is in this link from StewMac, but it says these are saddles for the Floyd Rose Special series.

Does anyone know if it will fit my guitar?

Does anyone know of any alternatives?

 

If I have to replace the entire bridge, it may not even be worth given this guitar is nothing fancy.

 

Thanks!

what did you do over tighten the saddle? The Floyd Special saddle may work but you usually can find a licensed floyd parts. https://www.allparts.com/BP-0691-003-Economy-Black-Low-Saddle-for-1-and-6_p_1002.html

Any Floyd saddle should do they are made to the same specs. You over tighten it that why it broke. Check the insert block to make sure it is not also cracked.

Yes, I think I gave an extra oomph to that one screw... it didn't feel like it though, I've been changing the strings in this guitar for 20 years. It probably wasn't so healthy either... I'll check the block as well. Thanks for the advice.

 

Thanks for the links... I'll check them out!
