Doing some tonal experimentation...just for the hey of it, and I like it!....I have a guitar with the older gotoh 1088 or 1055(screw-in arm) bridge...from E to E the spacing is 2 1/8. Want to try some of the Graphtech String Saver Classics that Tom uses on his most recent bridge...the question?....They are only made in 2 1/16 and 2 3/16 spacing:mad: ....which one would work?...or not happenin'?

the wide ones won't fit. the narrow ones will have a little gap between them.

since the beginning of time fender has had saddles that did not touch. they may move around a little, but because the use cup point screws they will probably be fine.
