I had some work done on the frets, and as the original saddle had a couple of deep grooves in it, the tech replaced the saddle with a Tusq one. It sounded terrible on the first gig.....very harsh and brittle and I couldn't EQ it to get a decent sound. I refitted the original bone saddle, and it was back to normal. I have since picked up some new bone saddles and fitted a new one with no sound changes. I know there's not a lot of love on here for the Baggs Element, but I really like them......you may just have to find the right saddle for your guitar and play around with EQ.

Thanks for the thoughts - dropping in a bone saddle is something I have wanted to try, so I may give this a shot. Thanks!
