Last minute bone saddle tech help
 
I just received my Colosi bone saddle and pins today!!! While I am currently at work, I can't wait to go back and start the sanding and prepping before putting it in my guitar.

I was just wondering if anyone has last minute tips to doing this properly that may not be noted in Colosi's instructions. Thanks and hopefully I'll be able to give a report of the tonal differences tomorrow!!!!:D

Take...................your.....................ti me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sanding the saddle is pretty easy and fast; however, sanding the pins is a pain and you will want to rush. Don't.

Hi TKF...
Measure often, sand in small incriments. Easier than reordering.

just remember, right when you get to the crucial point, where you think its just about right,all it takes is a little bit too much more, sanded off the saddle, and its no good. i know, because i did it.

Well-
I was successful in installing the saddle and pins last night!!!
The guitar sounds and looks incredible. Thanks for the advice!

Hopefully, when I have more time, I can give a full report.
