Good advice guys, thank you. What surprising to me, is how close I was able to get my new saddle to my old one-- but when I fired it up it didn't FEEL like the original. It felt a lot higher yet it measured a little lower at each string. One thing I found was that the little slots that I filed for the bass strings were about 1 mm off. So I slid in the saddle more without realizing it. 1mm precision is hard to get when you mark it with a pencil by hand. So, this had the effect of making the treble strings ever so slightly higher. I almost had it perfect, but I lowered the basses just a hair too much. It IS RUINED! MY MASTERPEICE! Call me crazy, but I think I can really feel/hear a difference between making ultra fine adjustments. Ricardo would tell me that it is my imagination, but I think it is my sensitivity... that the women moch.
