Ok, so how much of a difference do you think a different saddle makes- particularly, a bone saddle versus whatever Westerley was making at a given point in time? Have many (any?) of you swapped in a custom saddle and noticed a big difference?
Second, I just bought an F-212 XL from what is essentially a pawn shop over the Internet. It has a compensated saddle that looks like plastic. Do any of you that have 212 XL's know if they came that way from Westerly? Mine is one of the late 90's ones, when Guild started offereing the 212 XL again. Looks like a 99 from the serial #.
Finally- tapping into the great font of experience here- who is your favorite custom bridge pin source? There are several on the web and I want to replace my plastic ones with bone ones. Is there an outfit you would use? Do any of you think it makes a difference in tone on a Guild.
And, my GOSH, do the Guild 12's sound amazing. They should be the standard against which all 12's are judged. Wow. Such definition, clarity, warmth, low end and volume.
