    Bone Saddle

    Posted by Ukulelebug on February 3, 2022 at 9:48 pm

    I made a new bone saddle for my 2010 Martin HD-28. Started from a rectangular blank. Fit and finish surprised me. Intonation is spot on. Nice increase in volume and playability, Like a new guitar. 5/64 low E at the 12th fret. 3/64 at high E

    Awesome Ukulelebug! How did you carve it? How did you get the dimensions correct? Bone saddles smoke a world of difference. Great job!

    thank you. It was done with sandpaper painstakingly slow. Credit to Bryan Kimsey

    Never really thought about doing that. Sounds like it made a difference then. Great stuff.
