the Fly Clone Project

Happy to send friends and family paypal. Thanks!!

@Dingus -Which one, and for what purpose? There’s the hard tail bridge and several iterations of the trem, with era-specific parts. I’ll keep an eye out for whichever you need.

Hey buddy. I thought all the trem versions were the same? I guess I'd be looking looking for a classic deluxe trem bridge. Thanks!

Here is a link to a Fly tremolo bridge on ebay:

@Dingus are you looking for the bridge or the piezo elements or a bridge with the piezo elements?

Definitely bridge with piezo saddles VJ. Willing to pay up a little too

Do you already have a preamp? If you're not married to the idea that the saddles must be OEM, you can buy the bridge @sindrist linked and then also get the Graphtech Ghost Saddles/System.

That's an interesting option VJ. Yes I have the preamp. Is there any perceived or real quality difference between these and OEM that you're aware of?

If it helps, I’ll sell you the set of 2011 Fishman saddles I took off my Supreme. If you’re wanting 90s era, I suggest shooting Dayn a PM and asking he keep you in mind, should be come across any. Other than that, you may only come across a set of Fishman saddles by buying a guitar with it.

Some members here have suggested that it's best to pair the OEM saddles with the Fishman Powerchip (or original preamp) and keep the GraphTech with the Ghost Preamp in order to minimize noise and allegedly an impedance mismatch. I haven't personally mixed and matched, but if I was going with the GraphTech saddles anyway, I'd take advantage of their preamp as it's modular and easy to expand.

Having said that, the saddles Ken designed (which mmmguitar is offering) are made of stainless steel and, I think, they will ultimately wear less than the USM or GraphTech saddles. FYI - here's a thread on Fly saddles through the years

Thanks for the offer mmmguitar but of course it's a 90s I'm dealing with lol who's Dayn? Obviously I have some reading to do I didn't know the saddles changed much over the years so I'll read that thread carefully.

Dayn hasn’t been by in a little bit, but I recall him always being on the lookout for Ken-era parts.
