Compensated Guitar Saddle at Sandra Steele blog

Compensated Guitar Saddle. We provide compensated acoustic guitar bone saddles to fit many brands, including martin, taylor, eastman, gibson, guild, yamaha, and more. This adjustment compensates for accurate intonation in tunes played in the upper frets. As the picture above shows, a compensated saddle has sections of the top edge offset from each other, depending on the string. With this saddle pattern, the treble e and b strings are compensated with distinct steps similar to a forward line b compensated saddle’s. Note that both the g and d strings sit forward, whereas with a b compensated with slanted bass saddle, the d string will have some backward compensation. Compensated saddles are more common on budget guitars. If you have an issue with intonation with your straight saddle, you can use a compensated saddle to correct it. The compensated saddle is slanted or grooved to allow for the high e, b, and g strings to sit. The simple angle back is a basic compensation for typical string gauge, and the raising of pitch that occurs when stretching the string down to the fingerboard during playing.
