Members bmast160 0 Posted Wednesday at 04:58 PM Members Share Posted Wednesday at 04:58 PM Do you think this level of tilt in the saddle is a problem? There is a very subtle gap between the saddle and bridge. Also, I like the sound of FWI saddles and the only compensated one I can find is made for Martin guitars, but it seems that Martin uses a slightly thinner saddle dimension - about a difference of the thickness of a couple sheets of paper. Any recommendations? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members garthman 244 Posted Wednesday at 07:50 PM Members Share Posted Wednesday at 07:50 PM (edited) I think the tilt is probably OK but there is any easy fix when using a saddle that is narrower than the slot. Just cut a strip of thin plastic (a piece from a pill blister pack works well) the same length as the saddle and just a touch less in height than the slot depth and slip it into the slot in front of the saddle. You want a reasonably snug fit so hunt around if pill blister packs are too thin. Edited Wednesday at 07:53 PM by garthman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members DeepEnd 2,682 Posted Thursday at 01:19 AM Members Share Posted Thursday at 01:19 AM It's probably okay but there's more of a gap than I like to see. You may have to give up on FWI and "settle" for bone or TUSQ. Best of luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
