If you’ve decided on your new guitar bridge but are confused with what type to go with, here’s our picks:

Notched Vs. Unnotched Guitar Bridge Saddles

Most guitar bridges come pre-installed with notched saddles. This allows easy installation of your new bridge and starting to play it right away. It will be perfectly functional for your normal strings and if you ever wish to widen these, you might want the wound strings to sit deeper in the saddle.

This will make the wound strings fit perfectly without widening it much. In case you use a heavy gauge of string, you might go for it. 

While the Unnotched saddles have a completely flat top. Before installation, you might need it to be noted for this configuration gives you the freedom to get a notch as per your requirement. Make sure to use specialised gauged files made precisely for this function. With the saddle notch deepening, you might want to take the help of a professional at this point. 

Necessary Upgrades For Your Guitar Saddle
