Model is yamaha fg720s

I am restringing and the saddle fell out

My only internet right now is on a crappy blackberry

I tried to pull up pics of this model and its not working so this is the only way I can get my question answered...

 

The saddle has a notch for either the b string or the a string. One edge of the saddle is higher than the other

 

Thanks in advance for the help!

Thanks guys. I put on a set of light daddarios. They are brass. They make a ton of noise when I play barre chords and move them around. I have until tues night, which is the night of the gig. What can I do to make these strings less noisy? Rub something onthem? Thank u

The show is in 24 hrs.
Buy new strings doesn't really help
me for the show. How about rubbing a clean dark towel on the strings?

 

 

Coated strings would, another vote for Elixir Nanos Phos/ Bronze.

 

Other than that rubbing them with the oil from your hands might help.

Advanced (somewhat) math:


Tons of talent + Scheduled gigs + No extra strings = Weak Area.


Solution......change your name to "No-Show Jones" and stay home.

 

 

I have 5 sets of light brass in my gig case, you trolling tit.

 

Why do so many of u miserasble twats focus on trivial bull{censored}? Ill be thinking of u tonight when I'm banging strippers and doing blo off their asses.

Brass is pretty bright. Try coated or PB, or eat a whole bowl of kettle potato chips with your left hand and then play for a couple of hours. This happens to my guitars at parties and it takes the zing right off.

 

Good luck. Don't forget to bring a tuner and a cable.
