Smaller saddles for my Gotoh201 bridge?

Recommended Posts

I have a Gotoh201 bridge fitted to my P-J.
It's got great fat saddles on it.
I have taken some relief out of the neck and shimmed it but even with the saddle on the E string as low as it can go I still feel the action is a little high.
So the next step would be to either change the bridge for something lower or replace the saddles on the bridge for some smaller saddles.

Any ideas where i can get some smaller saddles that would fit?

The wilkinson bridge is a good piece of kit. I have one on my Squier MD and it looks the biz.

I've got one of these as well on my MIM P, I took a Gotoh 201 off it and put the Wilkinson on, I much prefer it although I personally hate the Wilkinson logo stamped on it.

That's what puts me off everything Wilkinson do, despite the great rep. I don't like seeing big brands plastered all over everything - I'd love a set of the brass saddles that come with the Wilkinson to replace the chrome (brass) saddles on my Gotoh 203, purely because they look so good!

But then again the Wilkinson stamp is not noticable - the strings obscure it and it's not easy to see at anything apart from very close up.

I notice it though, it's really just my own preference, I just think it looks really cheap and nasty. I'll eventually get a plain BBOT bridge and swap the saddles over.
