Glad to read you’re going ahead with your own setup goodry. Once you’ve made phone contact with Bob he will clear up the details, he’s been quite helpful for me. Knowing what guitar you have and sharing a few dimensions he’ll provide you with a saddle that doesn’t require too much work vs a saddle blank.
I’d still recommend getting a saddle shim kit from him at the same time. It’s real easy to go a bit too far and a shame to trash it and start over...especially on your first one. They’re not expensive and I couldn’t detect a tonal difference with a shim. Could save some $ and time. Heck, I sold a J45 with a shimmed saddle that I forgot was in there, my buyer said it was the best J45 he’d ever heard.
Please let us know how it all works out for you, we guitar nerds love this kind of post.
