Sherman -> RE: Another saddle question (May 19 2007 0:51:48)

I never heard of using a wooden saddle before. So what kind of difference should one expect if wood were used? I have been just using bone saddle blanks. I replaced a saddle (bone for synthetic?) on one guitar a couple weeks ago, and am satisfied with the result. The guild guitar is a 1964 Mark 2 spruce top. I bought it in rather tough shape cosmetically, and had the top refinished professionally. It is a fun guitar to play, has a scale length of 640 I believe and is loud! The high e at the 12th fret seems a bit weak, and maybe I should just live with it, but I keep thinking maybe something will help it. It's a bit odd in that the body depth seems more in line with a flamenco guitar, about 93.5 mm as I measure it near the heel. But it is louder, at least up close than my concert guitar.
