This compensated all bone bridge is a great upgrade for most acoustic guitars. You can sand it down if need be for a perfect fit and the action that suits you best. They are very reasonably priced.

Just have to sand to the right height. Easy peasy.

Naturally you will have to do a little filing for string height but it is definitely worth it. Great improvement on sound and sustain. I have used these on many different electric and acoustic guitars. Overall well worth the price.

As described and fast shipping. Replaced plastic saddle, nut, and pins, one at a time and each improved sound of my guitar. Highly recommended.

I liked the price and use these for acoustic guitars that I buy and sell

These saddles are advertised at 74mm however they actually measure 72mm. Very frustrating when I ordered them for a Martin that uses the longer size.

These fit into my Yamaha JR2S and Yamaha F335 with some proper sanding but it wasn’t difficult at all. You get 4 in a higher quality bag than the other expensive Single bone saddle listed here. I had purchased that single expensive bone saddle and that company couldn’t resolve my issue of losing the saddle during shipping because of their cheap quality bags. Do yourself a favor and get these instead. You get 4 just in case you sand too much and it’s made of REAL quality bone.Guitar sounds great. Better volume and crisp notes. It provided a nice tone and longer sustain. Paired with ebony bridge pins and PB light gauge strings, it made my Yamaha JR2S sound on a par quite possible better than a Little Martin and a Baby Taylor. I also own a Taylor GS Mini and compared my upgraded Yamahas to it and they sound just as great as the GS Mini.

Meets my needs just fine. Had to sand the bottom a bit to get one of the nuts to the necessary height. They are good quality bone nuts. Not shiny or polished, but they work just fine. Improve your tone with a bone nut. You cannot go wrong.

As with all saddle blanks, expect to do a fair amount of sanding or filing to get it to fit in the saddle slot and to get the intonation right for the guitar. One of the saddles in the set I received was not flat along the bottom but the price was low enough I just threw it away rather than bother with it.

This bone saddle replaced the Tusq saddle that came with my 13 year old Martin. Originally just to see if we could improve the action, we also ran into a huge improvement of tone. It made an overall tubby, bassy Martin into a extremely balanced instrument suitable for all guitar styles. We had to shave down the saddle with a file considerably but was done quickly. the action is as easy as an electric and has never intonated so well. The is a tad of buzzing, but my guitar needs fretwork and is a likely cause.I almost planned on selling it to fund another guitar, but these inexpensive bone saddles saved the day! My Martin is as good as new, if not, better. Give these a shot if your guitar just isn’t sounding as good as you want.
