Hey gang,
I've got an early 2000s Nitefly with the Dimarzio hum buckers and the "2 balls" saddles on the bridge. The low E string saddle is shot, or at least I think it is. None of the balls are missing, but in acoustic mode that string has zero output.
By browsing these forums I was led to Wiguitar on eBay and found these replacement saddles:
http://m.ebay.com/itm/172749081023?_mwBanner=1So I've got a few questions:
1. Are these newer style saddles compatible with my Parker?
2. Do I need to replace just 1 or should I replace all 6?
3. Will this item give me what I need or do I need additional parts? I took the panel off the back of the guitar, and all the solder points and components look good.
4. I noticed the new saddles don't have any leads coming out of them. Is this remedied by simply soldering a new wire in there, or do I salvage the leads out of my old saddles, or am I just waaaay off base?
I have no plans of doing this work myself. My soldering skills are.... poor, and I'd much rather pay a pro to set everything up correctly. I play the guitar, I don't work on them lol.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
