I need to work on the saddles of a tunomatic Nasville type bridge. I can't work out how to remove them.
Is it possible without wrecking it?
Thanks in advance!

There's a spring clip on the inside of each channel for each screw. The screws have a slot turned in them (toward the side of the screw head). The springs need to be pushed up so that they disengage from the slot, then the screw can be backed out.

If you run the saddle all the way to the end opposite the screw head and keep turning the spring clip will expand and the screw can be backed out far enough to get the saddle out and flip it or replace it.

If you pull the clips there are a real PITA to get back in properly.
