The Complete Acoustic Saddle
The bridge saddle is the primary mechanical gateway between your acoustic guitar's strings and its spruce soundboard. The Complete Acoustic Saddle (£45) replaces dull, injection-moulded plastic or soft synthetic bridge inserts with an individually carved, solid unbleached bone saddle, unlocking richer harmonic bloom, punchier projection, and balanced string-to-string volume.
Bespoke hand-carved unbleached bone saddle crafted from solid cattle bone blanks on our private Dundee workbench. Includes fretboard radius matching, micro-intonated B-string compensation, and base truing for even under-saddle transducer string balance.
Includes complimentary doorstep collection & return across Dundee, Broughty Ferry, Monifieth, Newport-on-Tay, and Tayport with 24–48h bench turnaround.
Bundle with our The Complete Setup (£95) for a complete acoustic transformation at £135.00 (Save £5).
