Members bluesboy Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 Hi all. Im thinking about replacing the bridge on my epi LP. I know GOTOH makes a direct replacement. Do the saddles come preslotted, or would i have to do that myself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BG76 Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 I would imagine you would have to do it. On most replacement TOMs I have seen you need to slot them. This is actually good because otherwise your string spacing may be off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members _pete_ Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 Even if they aren't notched, it's a pretty simple job. Use old strings. Tune them up enough tp put a little tension on them. Line up the string where you want it and lightly tap it with a mallet where it touches the saddle. It should leave a small indentation. Fold a piece of sandpaper and using the edge, sand the indentation a little to smooth it out. You don't need deep slots. You just need it to keep the string in place and not have any rough spots or burrs in the notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
