Or you can match up the double screw holes on the factory shim and drill them and will work too. I just installed a complete Schaller tremolo system on an old Peavy EXP Vandenberg model and went through all this. I added Titanium saddle blocks and screws with the brass big block from Fu-tone , fantastic set up!
I had the opposite problem on my Floyd. The thread sheared in the back of the B string saddle when I was doing a restring. The bolt was ok though. I ordered a set of saddles online but they were different to the ones on the guitar. They were too high. I tried putting them on anyway but it didn't work. The bridge on the guitar is a Jackson by Floyd Rose. My guitar is a JS32 Randy Rhoads. I forget what type the saddles I ordered were. I ended up ordering a second hand Jackson Floyd from reverb because I couldn't get just the saddles themselves. At least now I have spares for everything except the B saddle. But anyway, your video gives me information that's good to know just in case.
I’ve never had to, but you raise the inner saddles to create a rounder radius, so you’d raise the outer saddles to create a flatter one like 16”. Of probably start by raising the A and B saddles a little, and if needed the outer two E saddles too

Thank you for taking the time to share what you discovered. Great explanation.. I'm looking forward to trying this
Fantastic! Finally after years of fighting my old Kramer, I now have a fix for it. Thanks so much!
Glad it was of some help!
Fantastic video, didn't even know the saddles had a radius to them! Haha, the more you know! Cheers.
Very innovative.🎸
Sir!!!
You are a genius!!!
Thanks for sharing 😊
Super helpful, thank you Matt!

fascinating! Thanks!
I think for the fine tuners to work correctly you'll need to cut the shim plate only as long as the shortest and longest of saddles after intonated
.
Fine tuners work just fine - they have full travel in both directions.
Perfect, tin foil also.
We hat if u only need one lowered.. how would this work ?
For something like that you'd want to use individual shims, one per saddle and just don't raise up the one that needs lowering
Brilliant !! Is thiis a top mount no routing for a Strat ?
Yes. It’s actually on a Warlock, but that had a traditional 6-screw strat-style trem on it that I replaced with this
@@ThrushCZX Thanks so much !
How do you convert it to 16 in?
I’ve never had to, but you raise the inner saddles to create a rounder radius, so you’d raise the outer saddles to create a flatter one like 16”. Of probably start by raising the A and B saddles a little, and if needed the outer two E saddles too
Thickness shim??? 0.15mm??!
To make 9.5 radius u only need the g&d raised
Hello bro, Is there a chart to know how many shims and in what saddles to get any radius?
