I have bought a "nickel/aluminum" compensated bridge for my '66 Starfire V: http://elderly.com/accessories/items/0271-NKL.htm.
First thing: it looks like a bad quality unit: the saddle bit does not fit smoothly and freely on the the threaded posts, and it does not sit flawlessly on the two wheels. I think I should send it back to Elderly, but it took a long time to get here (Italy) and I don't want to waste further time and shipping money.
Second thing: it is unslotted. At a first trial I can see that the strings move away during bending. Do I have to slot the saddles? Why is it sold unslotted?
TIA
