Topic: Bone saddle

Hello all,

I haven't posted for a while as I've been pretty busy, I haven't let my practising go tho so all is still well :-)

Just a quicky to say I changed the saddle on my Epiphione EJ200 yesterday from the standard supplied plastic one to bone.  I got a blank for £5 and spent 2 hours last night whittling, sawing and sanding, getting the bone exactly the same shape and size as the old one and I managed ok, no too hard but time pretty consuming.

Anyway, the results blew me away, I was absolutely stunned how mellow and long the notes and chords rung for, I really can't believe it.

So, if anyone has been thinking about it, just do it!

Cheers

Re: Bone saddle

Nice.  Now I just need to go buy an Epiphone EJ200.  It's on the short list for when I upgrade.
