What goes into deciding the width of the saddle? Seems like the standard widths are 1/8" and 3/32".
I used to have an epiphone that had some very poor work done on it. I ultimately had to slightly widen the saddle slot (making it slightly more than 1/8" wide) to fix it. This seemed to improve tone a bit on this poor sounding guitar, and increase volume substantially.
My d25 has a 3/32" saddle, and It has plenty of volume, but the thinner saddle leaves less room for compensation when I make a new one.
My GAD JF30 has a 1/8" saddle.
I guess my big question is, do all the D25's out there have a 3/32" saddle? And, has anyone widened the slot on their D25 to 1/8"
