RE: Saddle doesn't sit completely on... (in reply to gerundino63)

cederwood

I agree with just about everything said here, except using cedarwood for a shim. I would use a hardwood shim, as the bridge is made of hardwood and cedar is very soft. Bone would be fine, but probably more difficult for someone without experience to shape.
