Replacing Nashville Bridge Saddles

Описание: I often read that people find it difficult to change the saddles in a Gibson "Nashville" bridge. It's really quite easy:

To remove, turn the intonation screw anticlockwise as if to remove it. Once the saddle touches the wall of the bridge, keep unscrewing. The screw will withdraw and allow the saddle to drop out. Leave the screw in the bridge unless you are replacing it or the circlip (I'll cover this next time).

To replace, drop the saddle into the bridge and push the screw forward into its hole in the saddle. Apply a bit of pressure on the screw and turn clockwise to engage with the saddle. Keep turning until the saddle is hard against the near wall of the bridge as this locates the circlip in its groove.
