Richard81 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Working on a 67 EC100 and need help with choosing a replacement saddle. I want to lower the action but don't want to take a chance on ruining the original saddle. Can somebody point me in the right direction for a direct replacement saddle? Thanks in advance, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, Richard Try Stewart McDonald for replacement saddles. They have a good stock and variety of then. An internet search Stewart McDonald should find them. You may need to guess the width size, but you can always file it to fit if needed if it’s too big. Hope this helps.

Richard81 Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 Thanks Jazzman, was hoping to find out what the right size is without having to spend hours searching the net. I don't have much experience doing this. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard81 Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 Update, took the plunge and filed down the original saddle. Took about 2mm off and it turned out pretty good. Action seems to be a lot better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuestionMark Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Cool! Thanks for the update! Glad it came out well! QM aka “Jazzman” Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard81 Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share Posted October 16, 2021 Update, although it plays and sounds incredible, I've decided to post it on Reverb. Not used to classical guitars and need to buy my granddaughter a beginner guitar for Christmas. So if you know anyone interested in an EC-100 it's selling for $350. Thanks again!

I have a 67 EC-100, and it's a really good instrument. $350 is a steal for one of these guitars. The identical gibson from the 60s (the C-1) model seems to be selling for upwards of $800 on Reverb, and some of those appear to be pretty ratty guitars. If I didn't own one already I'd be all over this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard81 Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 Thanks, for the comment. It did sell pretty much right away and the new owner is very happy with it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
