I have been accused of being dense...and hard-headed...but don't I think we're talking about the same issue... :lol:taabru45 said:I knew a woman who said almost the same thing.... :lol: Steffan
I would say that the saddles on GADs are some kind of bone composite but not pure bone. They seem to be more fragile than bone or for that matter plastic. Thanks for posting this Ridge as I am inspired to replace the saddle on my GAD25 now. I already like how it sounds so if a new saddle makes it better...that's a good thing.Ridgemont said:A couple of thoughts:
The stock bone that comes with the GADs are pure crap.

+1 on the DR Rares. Those are some bright strings and will liven up any guitar.Ian said:On a more helpful note than my earlier post might I suggest some DR rares, I've found they have a very full and warm tone to them, certainly warmer than the EJ 26 custom lights I usually use.
Good luck...
Hi RidgeRidgemont said:Hey 12-er, While I am not entirely sure about GADs, the Martin stock saddles from Bob Colosi work great on my F30. My F30 originally came with a straight uncompensated saddle and I replaced it with a Martin style compensated one. You of course will have to sand it down to fit the slot in the bridge but it works (at least with my F30). This way you will not have to send him your saddle so he can make an exact duplicate. He has the Martin style saddles in stock.
Absolutely... and getting it away from your body frees up the back and that can make quite a difference too.frettedstrings said:Who sells these attachable armrests? When playing my guitars (D35 and F212) my arm does rest over and around the upper portion of the guitar bur when I attempt to lift my arm and balance the guitar away from my body, the sound is so much richer. Wow, what a difference !
Do a little searching. It was discussed here within the last 90 days or so with some pics too. :wink:frettedstrings said:I just don't know about the idea of sticking something to the finish of one of my guitars. I gotta do some more research.
