Sadowsky Guitars introduces the True-Tone archtop saddle.
Typical archtop saddles are either an intonation compromise or are intonated for a wound G string common on heavier strings. With the exception of metal Tun-o-matic style bridges, there are no wooden bridge saddles compensated for a plain G.
Every new Sadowsky archtop comes with the True-Tone saddle set.
Custom designed by Roger Sadowsky, the ebony saddles are compensated for plain and wound G strings.Tested over a six month period on many guitars prior to release, the intonation offsets offer superb intonation.
The Sadowsky True-Tone saddles are available as a retro-fit for older Sadowsky guitars, as well as any archtop bridge with standard Tun-o-matic post spacing. Saddles can be custom fit for fingerboard radius, string spacing or height by your local guitar tech.
Available individually ($50) or as a set ($90).
2.9" (2-29/32") Post Spacing
2.09" (2-3/32") String Spacing (E-E)
12" Saddle Radius
