BluesKing777 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Yes, where will we be without these nuggets of information? Yuk Yuk.😲 I have a problem with the saddle end of a non Gibson that I am trying to hone in. I have a mic to solder to the K&K pickup that is already installed to upgrade it to my Trinity system, but this time the 1st string is not playing as loud as the other 5. This is physically and electrically impossible on a K&K pickup as it has ONE sensor for each 2 strings. So if it was the sensor in any way, the 2nd string would not play properly either. It has to be the bone saddle (pin bridge with split saddles) not contacting underneath properly??? Break angle? BluesKing777.

Graphite, lubrication, whatever.. are all band-aids. Eventually all that stuff wears down, you are back at square one. Filing the nut for 1. the right depth, and 2, the right width It is literally a 10 minute job with the right tools and know how. This is the confirmation I was hoping for. If you can fix it with a properly sized nut I'll go that way. thank you all, maybe these are newbie questions - but your input truly helps.

The luthier may not get it exact, either! But it will be way better than an amateur, just because they have ALL the tools at hand. Call it today and get it organised - we are currently in lockdown here and can't leave our suburb. Have to get a courier to deliver to the luthier and back - in full protective mask and gloves etc.... So if you can drive it now, do it..... BluesKing777.
