Description
The 8501 model is the perfect option to upgrade or replace the existing saddles on your Gibson Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge dated after 2000.
It will also fit in a TonePros TP6 bridge and any Tune-O-Matic bridges marked PW on the underside.
These are the saddles we load into our ResoMax NV2 Bridges and bridges with API stamped on the bot...
100% recommended. I installed them on my Gibson SG Standard, and the improvement is clearly noticeable in terms of string vibration, friction, and ultimately in the overall sound. If you’re obsessive about upgrading your instrument, don’t hesitate.
At low volumes and with a clean tone (almost unplugged), the difference is very noticeable but at higher volumes it’s not as clearly perceived.
In the end, it will depend on each guitar player’s feel and preferences but it’s a great product.

Restoring a 1979 German made bridge
I'm refurbishing a German made bridge that came off a 1979 Aria ProII. FS750.
Can't see any manufacturer name on the bridge.
The old saddles were very corroded and pitted from many gigs in clubs and pubs.
Careful measuring and referencing the Graph Tech files found the set I was needing.
The PS-8501-00 fit perfectly.
Next job is to set this bridge on the Aria ProII and give the guitar another 45 years or so.

string saver saddles
These saddles cured the bridge buzz from the original saddles and also helps tuning, the string can move over these more easily during bends.
