You probably remember this one from before.
So it returned for a bone saddle and nut, and a free set-up (you get one when you get a bone saddle and nut installed at the Garage).
As you can see in the picture on the top, the ‘G’ and ‘A’ strings have managed to crush the saddle.
The owner also complained that there was a slight intonation problem, to which I frankly told him, ‘Let me change the saddle and nut, if there’s still a problem, we’ll look at it then’!
It also took some new strings.
But before they went on there was a little work to be done.
The hardware on the headstock was tightened, the fretboard was cleaned off all deposit, and then the new saddle and nut were calibrated to be installed in place of the plastic elements that gave way under string tension.
And as strings were installed, the bridgepins were given the customary shave so that ball ends wouldn’t catch on the ends.
Here’s the new saddle holding up fresh new strings
and this is what this baby looked like when it left me.
Perfect sound, perfect intonation!
