kingped Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Well guys as mentioned before i scored an AJ500m last weekend in the uk. it is so lovely man. But it didnt come (as hinted by other forumites) with bone nut or saddle - it looked plastic so i got in touch with gibson europe who reinforced that they were plastic. They also said that the pins were standard size. anyway. So when ordering replacement nuts and saddles ( i'll do it online and give to my luthier - yeah , i keep him in a drwer under the bed) what am i asking for - is it a bone compensated saddle? nut size? And as far as pin size goes, whaddya think? thanks i advance. kp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 333 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hmm. In the US, the saddles are compensated bone, or always have been until now. There was a thread about this here not too long ago; several members tested their saddles with a hot pin to confirm they were bone (the hot pin will penetrate plastic but not bone).
