I showed these in a short blog "Simple adjustable bridge" .The threads are M4 x 25 long, unfortunately the ones I bought didn't have a full length thread so I ran a die nut down the unthreaded bit to give more adjustment.
The saddle is just a piece of stainless strip drilled 5mm at each end then folded down the centre line. Even though the holes are drilled oversize they close up when folded, so you will have to run a 4mm drill through after folding. Make sure the saddle is held tight when doing this it will try and screw itself up the flutes of the drill bit !

I’m liking finish! This is a nice guitar!! Miss
From Amazon..... The bridge piece is too wide, I can not easily adjust it, I will need to find an alternative, or file some half moon slots.
Thanks for the idea

Those screws look better, no shoulder under the knurled head.
