Compensated Biscuit Saddle
My new used National 0 Style is causing me a little frustration with tuning, so I wondered about the availability of a compensated saddle for the biscuit.
I searched AGF and found an enormous amount of info on intonation, but not this exact question, so I wrote to two experts on the topic. Both of these fine gentlemen got back to me within a day, with a solution, and I want to thank them publicly.
Bob Colosi of guitarsaddles.com and Catfish Keith of catfishkeith.com both informed me that National Resophonic Guitars now offers a compensated maple biscuit saddle as an aftermarket replacement. I've ordered one (photo attached) and I will post the results when it arrives.
Thanks Bob and Keith!!!
By the way, National's website has a detailed instruction sheet on how to adjust the saddle and install it. Can't wait to use it.
