When it comes to making a bespoke bone saddle for an acoustic guitar there are lots of factors that are all really important.
I make my saddles from a rectangular blanks especially for your guitar's bridge which means that it's 100% tailor made to be spot-on for the best playability, sound, looks and performance.
If you don't have a bone saddle in your acoustic guitar you are missing out big time, it really is my favourite tonal upgrade for acoustics
Guitar Saddle Compensated Bone
Some guitars have a saddle in that's too thin. Not only is that terrible for string-to-soundboard transfer but they can lean and give a poor string contact point resulting in a fuzzy tone. I make mine to be snug so that theres just the right amount of pressure holding it in
Your guitar's fingerboard (unless it's a classical guitar) has a curvature and the saddle has to mirror this radius perfectly so that the strings may be held at the right height from E to e string.
Although the guitar's string height is dependant on other factors too, one of my new bridge saddles with be set perfectly for your playing style
How To Make A Bone Acoustic Guitar Saddle
For those who have Piezo transducers hiding under their bridges, bone is great for those too. It carries all the same tonal advantages straight to the pickup itself. String to string balance is carefully monitored too so that when plugged in, each string has the same output volume as the next.
Although many acoustic guitars are designed with an offset bridge saddle angle, the intonation pattern needs to be fine tuned for optimum intonation string to string. My bone saddles are intonation compensated with the use of a B-Bump on the B string. Also available in a straight intonation pattern if required
A saddle blank is selected from my stock and the thickness measured, I'm looking for one that will fit snugly into the rosewood saddle slot of the guitar's bridge
Set 12 String & Slotted, Saddle Real Bone Saddle For Acoustic Guitar
The saddle blank is sanded to the perfect thickness and then the ends are trimmed and rounded so that they fit inside the saddle slot perfectly
The saddle is now rough sanded to the correct radius. The curve in this fingerboard is 14 so it's important for the bridge saddle to match it
Here's the saddle with the correct radius sanded onto it. Of course it's way too high at the moment, the top also need some attention

This is the intonation compensation pattern needed for each independent string to play in tune. This curve affects the intonation of each string which is responsible for the string playing in tune as you fret higher notes. The 12-string version is extra complex whn compared to the 6 string version.
During the process of setting the saddle height you have to de-string the guitar a few times and yes, I broke the damn G string again!Estimated between Wed, Oct 18 and Wed, Oct 25 to 63571 Estimated delivery dates - opens in a new window or tab include seller's handling time, origin ZIP Code, destination ZIP Code and time of acceptance and will depend on shipping service selected and receipt of cleared paymentcleared payment - opens in a new window or tab .
