Do I Need Roller Saddles For My Bigsby?

Duppy03

I’ve just picked up a Gibson Midtown (P90 version) with a Bigsby installed.

Looking at the Standard version that came with a factory fitted Bigsby installed it has a Tone-Pros Roller Bridge. Would you advise I go ahead and put the same on mine? Can I just replace the saddles rather than the whole bridge?

+1 on lubing the nut and saddles. I use the somewhat less expensive Super Lube. 7ml bottle fits in the guitar case and costs around £7.

Thanks fellas. I’ve used the even more budget conscious pencil lead in the past but will give the lube a try before making any purchases
