1992 S-500 saddles and tremolo?

Post by texwest »

I have a leo signature s-500 from 1992 and am wondering if the saddles are zinc or brass? Where can I buy brass saddles and a brass block for this tremolo? If there are different brands it would be great to know about all of them. Thanks, Wes

I am quite sure the saddles are zinc for your 1992 S-500 Signature.

Here's some posts which might be of interest:

Anyone else notice new sharp edges on Legacy saddles?
Re: Are the new ASAT Special Bridges made in the USA?
G&L will be offering the saddles and block from the DFS ...

You can get the current brass saddles from the G&L Online Store, but they don't list the stock trem block only the DFS trem block.
You might contact webstore@bbesound.com and ask if they will sell you a current stock trem block for a US S-500 model.

Hope this helps.
