QuoteMost versions had the nylon saddles pictured here, though around late 71, early 72 some of these bridges were equipped with chrome plated metal saddles.

Those pictures are missing when I view the page. I can see all the others. Is this some kind of Jedi mind trick?

There is no pic of the metal saddle Evertilt on that site

the info here dates them and i picked one up on the bay last week fairly reasonable. what the heck i'm going to do with it i have no idea, just wanted to know that i didn't get one someone had "repaired" with some strange saddles.

actually thinking i should have it and the studs rechromed or black chromed.
