Hi Tim, I don't have any pics (my digital camera is not so great)but here is a link that you may find helpfull: http://www.lutherie.net/saddle_angle.html . Hope it helps. By the way I have to try some shag bark hickory for back and sides like you did, been considering it for some time and have some fairly large ones on my property out back. Very contrasting wood between the very wide early wood band and late wood. |

Hi Tim I interpretated your post as wanting Pictures of two part Saddles, so here are a couple. I should add they are not my works, they are both from Lowdens.

Thanks for the info guys. Paul's link was what I was looking for. Paul: Do try Hickory, you will be quite pleased! |

Tim, I'm not really sure what you are looking for but I noticed something on the article (as well as just about every guitar out there) that I though I'd bring up. The pins are in a straight line. Giving different break angles for each string. I've been making my pin holes follow the saddle angle so that each break angle is the same. I think it also helps prevent splitting of the bridge down the road as all the pin holes don't fall on the same grain lines.
