Had this little Faith Venus in for a setup and saddle upgrade recently. It came from the factory with a Nubone synthetic saddle, but the customer was looking for something a bit more classy!

Unbleached bone to the rescue! A bit more sympathetic to the cream binding, rather than the icy white bleached version. And marginally harder wearing too!

Handmade from scratch, compensated for improved intonation, and buffs up a treat! 🔧🔨

Had an amazing 1970s Yamaha FG180 getting an pickup installed today. This particular instrument needed the bottom of the saddle slot routed flat 1st due to being pretty uneven.

Here's the saddle routing jig and to the rescue.

If left uneven then the pickup would never have worked properly, having terrible string balance issues when amplified, and generally sounding like a bag of old spanners!

However, this particular owner was pretty sure they wanted to hear all 6 strings evenly.

Fair enough! 😉
