Any one know if they make a part that will fit since they are so damm tall or anyone who deals in aria parts

I have been pretty lucky using the Graphtech saddles, but a few times I have had to find longer set screws to raise the saddles high enough. On one Cardinal I used a brass blank under the saddles to give me that extra lift but becuse the inside of the bridge has a stippled texture I lost a bit of sustain. Nothing extremely detracting, but being a Cardinal nut I did notice.

You may have to grind the back of lower saddle or two in order to set intonation on 10s or possibly above, but the material is easy to sand yet hard enough to take it down in small increments so as to make it for the most part not noticeable. Be sure to get the offset saddles for the Strat Plus, Stewmac Part no. 1871-E and if needed you might have to make a trip to the local HW store for either some 1/8" brass plating to go beneath the saddles or better the entire bridge. Alternatively I have used longer set screws but had to re-tap the height screw holes to match the threads of the taller height set screws.

Hopefully this helps! Lemme know!
