How do you buy a compensated saddle? IE on taylors website, you can purchase one. Sorry if this isnt getting through my head, im a little confused!

Hi gw...
On average the factory compensation will be good, and if your ears are sensitive, then perhaps you will compensate it even more (or have it done).

Many folks want to change the plastic or micarta or tusq saddles (all man-made materials) with bone or ivory.

You can buy compensated saddles for many makes of guitars here...

Bob is a great guy to work with and plays well too. His duplicates of factory compensated saddles are very good, and will work in many guitars with little or no adjustment.

How finicky one is really determines what tweaks need to be performed beyond the factory compensating. As I mentioned before, age, and shifting environment can affect the guitars as they age.
