Johnt Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 You have to be careful with the word "saddle " in this room.....a lot of forumites use saddles as' date=' say........um....... paraphernalia, so to speak, so better use the words "guitar saddle" as to not confuse folks....[/quote'] I'd really advocate the use of a standing martingale, perhaps with a Pelham or even a Herm Sprenger. Saddles alone?? Neigh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I'm overwhelmed! This was my first ever posting' date=' and I hardly expected a response back at all - on such a topic. I didn't realise saddles could generate so much interest. But let me tell you - I am REALLY grateful to all of you that have replied so knowledgeably and helpfully (even the sarcastically jokey ones). I now know what these gizmos are called, and that I shouldnt have filed it down as much as I did. I know who to contact. I'm a happy bunny. One last thing, when I filed the saddle down, I now realise I didn't do evenly, which meant my 'under-saddle pickup' stopped picking up the sound from the strings evenly, which meant the amplified sound is unsatisfactory. Lesson to be learned - it may look simple - but gibsons are carefully crafted and not to be messed around with. Cheers - Peteros Many lessons learned![/quote'] You wanna start a thread that just won't die? Ask what them leetle cream colored thingies are stuck in the bridge below the saddle.
