just what I need for my spongebob guitar, think Ill give him a bell.
Wonder if he'd swap for 15 grammes of 24 carat gold.
He might be more willing for 15 grams of something elseOriginally Posted by cacofonix
Its probably how he came up with his price
I'd have to check, but it wouldn't surprise me if that's a "fair" price. It's the same story with anything like this - if you've got an otherwise all-original 50s or 60s Strat with the wrong saddles, these could make that sort of difference to the value. Stupid but true.

I'm with ICBM here, those saddles could be a damn good investment to someone returning a non original 50s (or even early 60s) strat back to life. An original 50s strat with the incorrect saddles will lose more than £500 over a 100% original strat.
In isolation these items always seem comically overpriced, but in reality they can increase the value by a lot more.
A fool and his money and all that.....
who is renovating an original strat that needs the saddles to complete the job.................. isnt such a fool
As has been said on here countless times, and also quite recently IIRC (but the same old people just dont seem to listen) - as ICBM and Bog have said, its not the worth of the individual part, but about the value it can add to an existing vintage guitar to a collector....

I agree with ICBM & others. PAFs change hands for astounding prices in the the States, but if your otherwise all original vintage Les Paul is missing one, well - cheap at the price...
