I posted this on a Squier forum, but in the meantime....
I just picked up an earlier Squier Bullet. I did a much-needed setup on it last night. I took the bridge string saddles off and soaked them in WD-40 for an hour (believe me, this guitar had seen better days). I adjusted the truss rod, polished the frets, restrung, set intonation, etc... and it plays pretty good now.
Now for the question:
Is there any particular rhyme or reason on how the saddles need to go back on? In other words, are they totally interchangeable or do certain ones need to be in a certain position (string 1-6)?
These are Fender saddles, the kind with the spring-loaded screws for intonation and each one has two small allen head screws for height adjustment. I noticed that the height screws on two of them were shorter than the others. I put these on the E strings, 1st and 6th, which I assumed was to accomodate the fretboard radius.
Is there anything else I should know? I've never owned a guitar with this bridge before.
Thanks!
