These are the string-lock saddles for the Floyd Rose Original tremolo — the small hardened steel blocks that clamp each string at the bridge and take the full brunt of string tension and repeated locking. When the saddle jaws strip, crack or corrode to the point where string height shifts or the lock no longer holds, this is the replacement set. Finish is black nickel to match the Original series hardware.

Fit is the critical question here. Floyd Rose saddles are cut to their own tremolo series and do not transfer across generations — two saddles that look the same from a metre away can be dimensionally different where it matters. These are built for the Original series only. If your bridge is a Special, 1000 series, Pro, or a licensed copy, this set does not fit. Beyond that: this is a full set of six because mixing new saddles with worn ones leaves the string heights inconsistent across the radius. Replace the full set.

The saddles are hardened steel. That matters because the string clamp screw bears down directly on the saddle jaw every time you lock the string — softer material rounds out over years of use. The black nickel finish will wear at the contact points before the steel underneath fails, so visible wear on the plating is not itself a reason to replace them.
