LiveMusic Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 On my Taylor acoustic, the saddle... for all strings except the B strign, the very top of the saddle is angled toward the headstock... maybe a 45* angle. For the B string, it's opposite; that portion of the saddle leans toward the end pin. Why? ------------------ Duke > > > [ Live! ] < < < Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_dup3 Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 Probably intonation correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveMusic Posted September 18, 2001 Author Share Posted September 18, 2001 Are other guitars like this? I've never noticed. It appears to me this came from Taylor like this as it is one continuous piece, I think. Very curious what this does. ------------------ Duke > > > [ Live! ] < < < Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott from MA Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 It's called a compensated bridge. A lot of companies use them. It helps the intonation of the B-string at the first 4 frets. Scott (just another cantankerous bastard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
