Trade? Roller or non Roller Bridge...

[Brian]

Interesting. The one that I had that looked just like it had saddles that didn't roll. Maybe you've got one of the lucky ones?

Well, this will be the first time I've ever been lucky then...

I'm with Mel. The bridge I got had slanted rollers, and flattened axles, and a touch of some kind of cement (LocTite?) on each saddle to keep them in place. The ones that Brian has look like the axles are actually round, and not glued in place.

Well, I'm sitting here with the bridge in question in my hands and each of the saddles roll when I run my finger over them.

Mel, do you still have the bridge? If so, maybe the roller wheels are frozen and just need to be freed up with a little oil.....

The rollers on the bridge of my 66 body are seized up so I might try to disassemble it and clean everything up so I can have better tuning stability. I think Danny mentioned in the past that he let his tuners soak in mineral spirits overnight to free them up, not sure if the same would apply to the rollers.

I remember that Thread ! We had suggestions---everything from lighter fluid to gasoline (and some oil ideas)......
I would probably try the mineral spirits or WD-40 before setting the guitar on fire
