I thought some might want to see this, I love the way it gave my guitar more seperation of tone for each string. Any thoughts.

Cervantes Santos Hernandez Style.

There was a thread about this sort of thing somewhere a while ago. EXCEPT the arches were UNDERNEATH instead of on top. So they were on the underside of the saddle that is hidden in the slot- that way you don't see the arches when the saddle is in place. Apparently it improves the tone, but by how much is debatable.

Well after I did it, I noticed a big diference in my guitars sound. It made it brighter louder and gave it more clarity. Seemed to give it a little more slack too for some reason.[:D] It also looks kinda cool.
