Hopefully I can find another set for my Strat....Happy to help!

Seems like they are made of unobtanium lately, though. I may have received the last unpurchased set in the world. Hopefully they will make some more....They are great. Best version of this idea out there by far, I'm not a fan of the writing on the newer ones sold separately but that's not important when they work as well as they do . My Suhr Modern is pretty much as stable as a Floyd but it does have a graphite nut and Hipshot locking tuners to help at the other end.
Post a Pic. Something is not right there, Wilkinson stuff even the cheep ( none Gotoh ) is pretty reliable.Yeah I would like to try those locking saddles but I am not super impressed with the Wilkinson tremolo I do have, it keeps fraying strings in the saddle.
If the stud spacing is standard Fender two post (actually the two outside screws of a vintage six screw spacing,) it will fit the Wilkinson and the 510. BUT because the Wilkinson VS mount has one open knife edge it can mean the high E side stud can be positioned slightly differently and the 510 won't fit. Warmoth do this if you ask for a VS100 mount. IF you post a close up picture straight down on top of the guitar over the bridge I can tell you if it will fit.@Andy Eagle I am thinking about dropping in a 510 as a replacement I just keep hearing different reports about the stud distance.
Hey didn’t see all this until this morning when I get home tonight I will send a picView attachment 71838
Here is the tech spec for the dimensions.
Saddles make a big difference in tone. I noticed quite a difference between the original saddles and the WLS130s with the PRS SE Standard 24 last week. The new ones are steel, and a bit more even and punchier than whatever the original ones were.Thank you all for the suggestions. I am glad that the OP found his choice.
I am in a similar situation, but I am replacing a 6 screw trem on a MIM Strat with EMG DG-20
I've come down to the Gotoh 510, but I have to decide between these options:
Modern saddle 510T-FE2 / 510TS-FE2
Vintage Saddle 510T-SF2 / 510TS-SF2
Brass saddle 510T-BS2 / 510TS-BS2
Is there really going to be a noticeable sonic difference between these types of saddle? What would be the difference?
edit: I discard the Brass Saddle. It is not available in Thailand. My choice is between the SF and FE
Softer treble = warm? What am I missing here?I'm going to disagree on the basis of trying all those salddles on a 510 as well as Hipshot and Raw Vintage brand.
If you want bright and reduced mids; Gotoh bent steel.
Fuller mids but still fender vintage; Raw Vintage .
Softer treble and scooped mids; Brass.
Smooth flat response; Steel .
It's a myth that brass is warm. This is not the same as the effect those would be on a tele bridge, there are different things going on.
The Carl Verhayen setup is utter nonsense. Troll physics at its worst.
Sorry I was not clear , Yes warmer in the highs but still brighter than a good solid steel saddle ( the scooped mids don't help them sound warmer either. You can also hear a cast saddle as different from a milled one too.Softer treble = warm? What am I missing here?
