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

That's a great idea that's long past due.

That is just too cool, and I think my Sadowsky "Jimmy Bruno" model will soon be retro fitted with one of those True-Tone Archtop Saddles...

Roger,

By what date did all your archtops start having this system? Mine's from May of this year.

Thanks,

Dave
