Help with my G&L SC-2 Vintage

Hey everyone! I have an early 80s SC-2, the one with the strat shaped body, anyway, it is the hard tail version and it is missing 3 saddles, what can I replace them with?

It's going to be tough finding replacement saddles for your guitar (likely built in 1984).

G&L does (or will soon) be selling a set of saddle lock bridge saddles on their online store. But read this first:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Due to at least three changes to the bridge plate casting in three decades, it is possible that these saddles may not fit the within the space original bridge plate on your guitar. This current bridge plate has 2.64" (66.9mm) width for the saddles. The current set of (6) saddles has a combined width of about 2.60" (66.0mm). Before ordering, measure the interior width of your bridge plate to be sure the current saddles will fit in that space.

Many earlier bridge plates from the 1980 through mid 2000s have around 2.58" (65.5mm) width, usually less space when black powdercoating ("wrinkle finish") was added. For example, an early '80s wrinkle finish bridge plate measured 2.56" (65.0mm). The current saddles will not fit these early Saddle Lock bridges. You may order a complete Saddle Lock bridge instead.

If you think that these saddles will work for you, contact jose@bbesound.com. You will have to buy a full set of 6 saddles though.
You might also try contacting a business called ESI. ESI specializes in the authentic reproduction of difficult or impossible to locate
parts for G&L brand guitars and basses produced between the years of 1980 and 1991.

Hope this helps.

thanks! that's actually pretty helpful, my bridge is powdercoated
