Tokai Final Prospec Bent Steel Saddle

robwright

This is a long shot! I have a Tokai ST80 from 1982 with the Final Prospec bent steel saddles. Somehow, I have lost a saddle! The grub screws were seized so I took it off and put it in a bath a WD40 and lighter fluid (a recipe I found online!) and now, two years and 2 house moves later, I can’t find it! 

Does anyone have a random Tokai saddle from that period in their parts drawer? I will be eternally grateful! 

Falling that, a full set of decent bent steel saddles would suffice (although the non original parts may devalue my guitar …. by 50p!).

Thanks in advance!

That’s a crazy price! Thanks for the heads up

Since they are specific, the sellers put a high price because it would be searched for, whereas they could also sell it cheaper as MIJ 80's fender style bridge, it probably isn't all that different. But if I did have a tokai, I'd want them too.
I have Seymour Duncan branded guitars, and one of them came with Duncan stamped strat saddles, so I've been searching for those, but none are around. If I do find them, I also expect them to be pricey as they are so rare

I have four Final Prospec saddles you can have. Only one has the grub screws though.
