<p>Hi, here's another bridge I made for one of my acoustic guitars, Its rosewood and will have a bone saddle.</p>

<p>Hi ghm, yep all correct. The saddle should have no wriggle room, but not tight or binding in its slot. Just a push fit that won't full out it turned upside down.</p>

<p>Great post Taff. Maybe I'm just over thinking it and making it difficult. I'll give it a go.</p>
<p><em>"The contact of the saddle to the strip is very critical, it must be perfect for each string for even response/volume.Its the pressure on the piezo part of the strip by the string that creates good or not so good sound." </em></p>
<p>So the bone needs to be good and tightly seated on the rod. i.e. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">No</span> wiggle room. Correct? </p>

<p>A decent break angle means the more pressure bearing down on the rod the better. Correct?</p>

<p>Hi Brent, it's bone. I have dozens of offcuts from other jobs so I use these bits for CBG's. The contact of the saddle to the strip is very critical, it must be perfect for each string for even response/volume.</p>
<p>Its the pressure on the piezo part of the strip by the string that creates good or not so good sound. That's why a decent break angle over the saddle is important.</p>
<p>Idealy the bottom of the slot and saddle should be perfectly flat and level.</p>

<p>Is that bone or corian for bridge? Does it need to sit on top and touch rod?</p>
