Default Martin Repair

So, mainly my fault that it took so long, but my JC16WE is finally back home. The top crack it had is fine now.

So I began to play it, sounded, well, great.

Couple days later I noticed a string buzz on the high E. Then the B. Then all of 'em... The nut was fine, but it looked like my saddle was filed down to a nub. I had maybe a 16th inch at the 20th fret...

Since once upon a time I attempted to build a guitar from scratch I had a couple of Martin saddles. A bit of measuring, sanding, filing, etc. the guitar is fine now.

Nice Sunday.
