Blondie#2 -> Bridge/saddle restoration following pickup removal (Aug. 30 2015 18:24:00)
|
I recently acquired a Navarro concert blanca. The original owner had a Baggs Hex pick up system fitted, intending to use it just plugged in (see example of system here, individual metal saddles! http://www.musiciansfriend.com/acoustic-guitar-pickups/lr-baggs-hex-individual-acoustic-pickups-set-of-6 )
A friend of mine bought the guitar, had the pick up system removed and a bone saddle cut to fill the slot. Note the recess cut into the saddle slot to allow for the pick-up installation, and the corresponding saddle shape that was required to fill the recess plus whats left of the original slot either side. (BTW The holes were needed for each saddle/pick up).
Having bought the guitar off my friend, I am about to have another saddle cut as the action with this one is too low, which brings me to my question -
I do not want to replace the bridge so is there a better alternative to a shaped saddle eg. could the recess (and holes) in the saddle slot be filled somehow allowing for a 'normal' saddle to be cut?
