jalalkun -> How To: Determine quality of bone (for saddle/nut) (Jun. 5 2017 15:19:11)
|
Hi folks, Disclaimer: I am no luthier or guitar maker by any means, but I'm curious as hell, so I just thought I'd jump in and ask away. The bone saddle of my guitar had been corrected in December last year, which means that all the edges were flush and smooth at that point. A couple of months later - now - I see that the saddle is dented where the wound strings sit. Consequence is that my 4th string wears down extremely fast because the friction at the dented edge slowly cuts into the string and it gets visible very fast. It even spontaneously snapped during a gig. My question now is: How can a luthier determine the quality of the bone (s)he is working? Of course, my current guitar isn't luthier made, so this shouldn't apply on my guitar, but I'm still curious.
