Hi
I have managed to bag myself a nice ebony Les Paul copy - from my research on the internet I think its a 2350EB from 73/74.

There are a couple of issues with it that I am hoping someone out there can help me with..

1/ The bridge saddles are REALLY worn out and need sorting. The bridge has S.T BRIDGE stamped on the base, but I cannot find any info at all on it on the internet. Anyone if this is the correct bridge for this model and where i can get a replacement ? or is it possible to just change the saddles ?

2/ I also need to replace the tuners - ideally with like for like. Any suggestions for a set that would fit and not require drilling another set of holes as I would like to stay as close to standard as possible..

3/ Where can I get a good set of replacement witches hat knobs ?

Any advice you guys can give would be gratefully received

Cheers

#1
I picked one up a while back..the ST bridge is original...if you check ebay you can find suitable replacements with some regularity. I don't know where you could just find the saddles..someone here might.

#2
no idea

#3 I picked up a nice quad set on ebay..almost identicial to the originals. The seller is listed below..don't let the dark top fool you..I was a little worried they would be darker gold...but they are almost an exact replacement.

Good luck,

Hi mate
thanks for that- I will keep an eye on ebay.

I hadn't realised you could still get matching replacement tuners, so thats cool.
Not sure if i am missing something but i did not get the ebay sellers name..

cheers
