ghost FAQ: Floyd Rose / LB63

Do you make acoustic saddles for a Floyd Rose?

We used to make ghost saddles to retrofit Floyd Rose bridges, but the installation proved too complicated for some of our customers, as they had to drill holes through their base plate to run the wires from the pickups to the control cavity.

Now we make a drop-in replacement for Floyd Rose Original and Licensed bridges called the LB63. Its metal saddles come loaded with ghost pickups encased in our own String Saver material. You can install the Ghost system very easily on your Floyd Rose style guitar by simply replacing your Original or Licensed bridge with the LB63.

Is the LB-63 just the bridge, or does it include all the other parts required for a floating bridge system?

The LB-63 comes with studs, posts, tremolo arm, springs, claw, screws, three allen keys, Summing Board, and Dual Connect Cable.

Can I order an LB63 now? Like today?

Yes, the LB63 is a regularly stocked item.

Can I buy just the metal saddles and the ghost pickups from the LB63 and install them on my Floyd Rose base plate?

*Coming soon*  We will be selling the LB63 saddles with pickups, without the base plate and accessories, but you will have to machine your base plate to pass the pickup wires through.

Will the "SS Floyd Rose saddle" [composite acoustic saddle] fit and work properly in the Ibanez Edge Floyd Rose style bridge?

The String Saver FR saddles will work with some Ibanez bridges bearing the Edge name, and not others. String Saver Floyd Rose saddles will not fit on the Edge Lo-pro.

The way to tell is if the fine tuning thumb screw pushes down on a long Allen bolt that's threaded into the back of the saddle, then the Graph Tech saddles will fit. If the fine tuning thumb screw pushes down on a metal arm extending from the back of the saddle, then the Graph Tech saddles will not fit.

What are the dimensions for the old FR [composite acoustic] saddles?

string height (#2) = 0.35" (8.9mm)
length (both pieces) = 1.34" (34.0mm)
width = 0.42" (10.8mm)

What's the E to E spacing on the LB63?

54mm, measured from low-E string-center to high-E string-center.
