Aren't there just 2 saddle types--one for bass strings and one for treble strings? I had to swap 2 on my Combo because of height issues. It seemed like there was only a difference between the E-D saddles and G-E saddles. Otherwise the height is determined by the curvature of the bridge.
@Hydra18: Are all 6 rollers of the same width? On vintage models the treble strings rollers are narrower and bass ones wider to accommodate the string gauges.

Re: Mosrite bridge with uneven radius
hi, yeah, all the six rollers have the same depth, I have a vintage 66 mosrite that is totally the opposite, you can clearly see the deeper slots for the Es. I've settled the bridge now, and at least it's playable, seems to have a pretty flat radius, where as the vintage one has a higher radius to the strings at the bridge.
I'm still planning on getting a Mosrite bridge for the '63 reissue, but now it's playable I've been playing it too much to notice!

Re: Mosrite bridge with uneven radius
I ended up getting a vintage bridge from Bob at Hallmark who also offered to fix the vibramute if I sent it to him, which I did. He fixed it within a day and it's working much much better now. Wasn't expensive either, I should have done than in the beginning, I cut my finger trying to fix the old one
