ORIGINAL: Skai 18 Euros seem completely ridiculous for such a simple job, I'd have left the shop right away. And I would have bitten his hand off for such good value. I pay 15 quid to have a new saddle fitted = 22 euros. If I wanted a nut sorted as well it would be about 25 quid all in = 37 euros. Apart from sanding it dead flat you have to get the slant right on both too (higher on the bass strings side) - not easy by any means. I could do both myself but as Ron says, it could take all afternoon and I might still get it wrong and have to start over. Life is too short, and if you care about your instrument this kind of investment is frankly peanuts. With my guitar tech, I tell him I want the action 2.5mm at 12th/6th and gladly pay him the money. If its not quite right, he has to adjust it until it is (though it usually is).
