Hi.

I got a crappy Harley Benton Strat im looking to make a little nicer to play and looking for some better saddles or complete bridge and some better tuners.

They don't have to be super nice stuff as its a cheap guitar just surely anything is better.

    Please provide the following dimensions:

    1) the spacing (centre to centre) between the string slots in the individual bridge saddles

    2) between the pivot/fulcrum screws (If it has six screws, measure between the outermost pair.)

    3) the vibrato cavity depth.

    These figures should guide you to a replacement part that will directly retrofit your guitar with no need for modifications.
    Be seeing you.

    I've got a set of vintage style saddles that I used for about 6 months, that have sat in my parts box for a couple of years. Thing is I honestly can't remember a thing about them in terms of brand etc. I'm going back through my emails looking for a receipt.  My strat's 52.4mm string spacing, if that's any good.

    off top of my head the ones on at the moment are vintage styled bent metal saddles. the issue is the holes for the height adjustment screws are poorly threaded so sometime the action can jump down on singular strings at any moment.

    let me know about them when you find the receipt

    @Bluesman1989 il have to go on YouTube and have a listen to them. I didn't really want to be changing pickups but it will probably help the cheapo Strat sound nicer and with the other bits feel better.
