Default and another bone yamaha option.

I just replaced a plastic saddle on a Yamaha DWX7C (looks like a 'cowboy' guitar and likely only available in the UK at this point), with a cheap bone unshaped saddle. It only took about 45 minutes, and worked out very well.

I ordered two just in case. They say they are for Martin guitars and probably are, but the dimensions were perfect. I have to say that I enjoyed being able to shape the tops and intonate them myself, since the original never felt quite right. One was unbleached, one bleached, and personally I couldn't see much difference.

So far, this is the first bone saddle I've found to make any sonic difference that was a positive experience.
