Re: Nfv4 bridge mods possible?

Another bump to say that my nitefly is currently out for some work- new pickups, possibly some additional features, and dude thinks he can repair my broken preamp but we’ll see about that. Anyway when it comes back to me itll have the graphtech saddles installed, since they seem like theyll fit just...

Re: Nfv4 bridge mods possible?

@jserrins, I did some fast and loose caliper measurements on my way out the door: The official spec width for your “dog bone” iteration saddles (of which I have none on-hand) is 10.5mm. The Graph Tech saddle I measured showed a 10.3mm width. The “USM” iteration saddle I measured was 10.92mm (which ...

Re: Nfv4 bridge mods possible?

Ok, ill grab some calipers and let u know if these saddles line up with those measurements. But this is very promising- again thanks a ton. Love this little parker corner of the internet.

Re: Nfv4 bridge mods possible?

First of all, amazing, thank you for taking the time. Youve hit all the nails on their respective heads. (Pictures below.) Looks like i did buy a fly bridge, and the saddles are the USM. Got the nomenclature now, the dogbones are indeed what i want to replace. Willing to invest a but because i love ...

Nfv4 bridge mods possible?

Hi all, i have a feeling there arent great options here but i dont see this explicitly addressed anywhere. I have a late 90s nitefly, i think its an nfv4 based on the presence of the stereo button. Its from 1997 or 98. Im the original owner, genuinely love this guitar. But i just went thru the matte...

Re: Nitefly Saddle Ball Bearings?

I saw the graphtech saddles but im assuming these will also be slightly too wide for my nfv4 bridge… I just replaced the original saddles on my blue, NFV-SA with GraphTech and I'm really pleased with them. They sound great and hopefully eliminate the ball bearing problem. The whole job, including re...

Re: Nitefly Saddle Ball Bearings?

Hi first post to this forum, figured id start by replying here rather than starting new thread. Im the original owner of what i guess is an NFV4. I thought i bought it in ‘97, but it has the onboard mixer for the piezos. Anyway, long story short the saddle ball bearings started popping off recently....
