sean65 -> Fitting a new TUSQ saddle (Dec. 31 2010 8:45:16)
|
Hi Guys,
I'm going to fit a new saddle on my guitar as I'd like to lower the action a little and have bought a TUSQ classical saddle (man made ivory).
The problem is that the width of the saddle slot in the bridge is a about 0.7 to 1mm too big for both the existing saddle and the replacement.
Should I pack this out with a small piece of veneer or just leave it as is and rely on the string tension to hold the saddle in place?
Perhaps it makes little or no difference, but the instructions that came with the TUSQ saddle suggest it should be tuned to a snug fit. In other words, when fitted I should be able to hold the guitar upside down without the saddle falling out of the bridge.
Any advice?
