Do you know anything about the two piece saddle? Do any of the best of the best do something like that?
Oh yeah. In the Spider family. If you are interested you can probably find demos of everything from Bone to even a carbon fiber one piece biscuit and saddle thing. I've never seen but have heard of adjustable individual string saddles on a biscuit style. Resonators can sound harsh. And the softer maple evens that out. I've heard ebony capped saddles that sounded too harsh. If yo wanted to do anything material wise that's the most I would go for. But again, I didn't like it. I think the idea came from the Ebony Nuts that were used on some lower end models back in the day. But that was for cost savings. Not because it was a good idea. Some love that for authenticity.
