I was tightening down the bolt on the saddle for the 4th/D string tonight on my new S7420 and the saddle cracked right in two, and I wasn't applying any abnormal pressure or anything. If anybody has a middle saddle of a Lo-Trs 7 they will sell to me or know some place that carries them, PLEASE let me know RIGHT AWAY.

EDIT: I'll also gladly entertain offers for a whole Lo-Trs 7 bridge/tremolo if that would be more to your liking.

See how much your local Ibanez dealer would charge you to get part number 2LT1UV35B from Ibanez. Might be a better deal.

Here's the whole trem for $65.

Yeah, unfortuantly the 6-string Lo-Trs bridges don't have the right saddles.

BD-2LT1UV35B

That's the part list for the 7-string Lo-Trs, and the part number for the saddle that broke on me is 2LT2-2B4.

BD-2CL1RC34

That's the part list for the 6-string Lo-Trs, and the saddles are the same as the 7-string, except for that damn 4th string saddle. That is the only saddle that is different from the 6-string saddles, and it figures that's the one that had to break on me.

I have a 7 string TRS bridge I could take a saddle off of, I don't think I'm going to be using it any time soon.

Oh man, are you serious? I would be forever in debt to you! Name your price and I'll pay it! I would just need the center saddle for the D-string/4th string.

[Drache713]

I'm still looking for a center saddle to buy. I'll also accept offers on just purchasing a whole Lo-Trs 7 tremolo/bridge if that would be more to your liking. My S7420 deserves to be played...

[Drache713]

Still looking for a center Lo-Trs 7 saddle to buy, or an entire Lo-Trs 7 tremolo bridge unit. I have some gigs coming up at the end of the month here and my RG7421 isn't really ready to be played out and gigged with, so I really need to get my S7420 up and running. Please help me out guys, I'm desperate!

Hello.
The same problem. I have never faced any problems with TRS on my s7420, but recently have cracked saddle for the third string.
So I'm sharing your grief and joining in seeking for this saddles.

The 3rd string as in the G-string? According to Ibanez' part list, the 3rd/G-string on 6-string and 7-string Lo-Trs tremolos are the same, so if you can find a 6-string Lo-Trs you should be able to use the 3rd string saddle from it just fine. My problem is that the center saddle for the Lo-Trs 7 is specifically manufactured for the 7-string version and is a completely different saddle than any of the saddles on the 6-string versions, if I were to put any kind of 6-string Lo-Trs saddle on the radius of my strings would be screwed up.

if you were able to find a shorter TRS saddle, you could always shim it up with locking-nut shims cut down to size. not ideal, but it would make the guitar fully functional.
