Any of you guys try scalloping your acoustic saddles? On the under side of the saddle, you use a round file to put 5 very shallow (1/32 of an inch is enough, and maybe 1/4 of an inch wide) scalloped-out places, one between each string. The theory is that by reducing the amount of the saddle, you concentrate the vibrations and get about 10% more volume and a bit more clarity and definition.
