I can't speak for the FG730S, because I don't own one, but the saddle you posted won't fit on my LL16 or my FG335II.

I just measured my stock saddles with my caliper tool and they are 75x3.5x10 mm

So, if you look at the compensated bone saddles in that exact size (which you can get by using the LL26 or LL36 as your model number) the price jumps up quite a bit to $36.17 + shipping. The part number is QC780200. Are you sure that the $8 bone saddle you posted is compensated? What model number did you get that from? Bob Colosi charges $31 (shipped) for the 75x3.5x10 mm compensated bone saddle that fits in the two Yamaha acoustics I have, which is significantly cheaper than buying them from Yamaha Parts. A saddle that's only 3mm thick might be too loose. I think it would be wise for folks to measure their saddles with a caliper and do the metric conversion before jumping the gun and ordering that $8 bone saddle.
