Westone Bendmaster Deluxe parts wanted...maybe
I need body/anchor posts and fine tuning screws.
Are they interchangeable w/ Floyd Rose?

Bendmaster replacement
I have a Dimension IV that I bought new in '86. I just replaced my Bendmaster FT with a FR license from Guitar Fetish.(link below) After 25 years one of the string claws broke. I could not find replacement parts anywhere short of buying an entire ax.

It dropped right in, no additional routing needed. Perfect Alignment with posts.( I think the post placement is the same with the Deluxe and FT) It is also made of high quality material. Not the cheap post metal alot of aftermarkets are made of. It was only $80 shipped. I have used ity for a couple months and it performs GREAT!
Hope this helps.

Bendmaster replacement.
The replacement I referenced in my previous post did not require the scale/intonation mods usually required when mounting a FR on a Westone. Scale is right on and intonation adjsutments were well within the range of the bridge design. I am very happy with this easy and relatively affordable solution.

The fine tuners can be substituted by 6mm hex head bolts, available from your neighbourhood hardware shop, and if you know someone who can do it, you can get monogrammed caps made for the heads!
The posts could be awkward; Damian or Martin will know what size these are and whether or not they're interchangeable, but Jim's solution is a ray of hope!! If they sell the bridge, they probably sell the posts and inserts....
