I don't know about the later CA guitars, but mine has a Tusq saddle, not a composite one. I would think that composite would be a challenge to sand! I've worked with carbon composite materials a bit on a home project (trying to make a dobro!), and this stuff eats cutting tools like crazy.
Also, all the CA guitars I've seen have compensated saddles. Mine came with two. The installed one was set at the factory for optimal tone and feel. The second, as spare, was a bit "taller" to allow me to mess with the setup. I made a lower saddle out of the spare, but went a bit too far. Gotta get a couple of new ones someday to try again...
