Guitar Bridge Saddle

thingiverse

Replacement bridge saddle for my 34-year old Yamaha FG-340 II folk guitar whose neck had warped (CCW direction toward the 6th) over time. It was becoming a pain to play bar chords over the lower frets. Google Sketchup (.SKP) source file is included in case you want to make your own. See instructions. Instructions To make your own: Measure or estimate where on the saddle and by how much, do you need to reduce (measure from where the saddle is exposed) Remove saddle, measure length and where each string used to sit. Mark out each string along that saddle length. Measure height of each "string mark" and make raised points along that drawing line. Join them up, and there you have it - it should look like your original bridge saddle. Decide how much you want to trim, raise the thickness (to match original saddle) then round off each leading edge.
