I have picked up a pile of Graphtech 'string saver' parts, essentially one for each common kind of bridge.

The strat saddles will go on my Indie Futuristic, the TOM saddles perhaps into my Indie Extreme Plus but I'm not so sure what to do with the Floyd Rose.

As the Graphtech Floyd has Gotoh style knife edges with a straight edge on the bass side I may see if it'll work as a replacement for the Washburn 600T tremolo in one of my EC29s which has slightly odd stud spacing.

I hope I like this stuff.

Courtesy of eBay I have built up a little stash of Seymour Duncan Blackouts active pickups. I've already got some in my Rhoads and I reckon I prefer them to EMGs. They seem to change hands for less than EMGs too, which is a bonus.

This is a neck/bridge set, a strat set and a single bridge. The middle and neck strat ones are the same pickups.

I'm thinking I'll make up an H/S set using one of the singles and the bridge AHB2 pinched from my Rhoads to go in one of my EC29s. The plan is to use a five way 'super switch' to toggle the 'high output' jumper on the two pickups in the intermediate positions and make it a little more versatile than just setting everything on 11 all the time.

The odd bridge (which is a bit scuffed) will go back in the Rhoads.

I'm not quite sure what I'll do with the matched pair, they were sort of bought on spec. because they were cheap. I could do another HSS set although something will end up with a bridge pickup in the wrong position if I do.
