Graph Tech Ghost Saddles on first generation Variax 500.
These appear to be the only fix for faulty Variax units, but it is hard to find information on how to install them. The installation is a bit tricky, and you need to have the Variax workbench software and interface in order to reduce the string volumes. Ghost saddles appear to have much higher output than the originals, so string volumes need to be reduced by around 60% to avoid an overloaded, distorted sound. After some tweaking, I am now very pleased with my improved sound. Time will tell how they stand up to gigging.

Superb acoustic sound solution
Need to have controled acoustic sound on your electric guitar or both mixed together? This is it. Love it. (This is part of the solution - you need the preamp - Graph Tech Acousti-Phonic Kit as well)

Great, but pricey
I used these saddles, along with the "Acousti-Phonic" kit, to make a Nylon string Stratocaster. Yes, they're a bit pricey but it's definitely high quality saddles that handle the strings very well. And the tone is great.
The wires that lead out from each saddle doesn't look good though. I wish they would have worked on that design in a more elegant way.

Brilliant acoustic sound!
I bought these to fit to my electric guitar to run an acoustic sound through our PA system at the same time as I run the normal guitar pickups to my amp. They work perfectly (with the acoustiphonic preamp installed aswell). I've had so many comments from people asking about the acoustic guitar sound, it really does sound close to a proper acoustic! Brilliant!
