No I mean bridge. When I had the Buzz Feiten system put on my Tak, the Luthier filled in the the slot for the old saddle, then cut a new slot since the intonation adjustment is severe on some strings. Carbon Fibre saddle???

I fully checked this one out as I never heard of a Carbon Fibre saddle or nut!?!
Player line
-all come with Carbon Fibre nut & saddle
Performer line
-Legacy and X come with black Tusq nut & saddle
-Vintage and Bluegrass come with White Tusq (no doubt for a somewhat traditional look)
-GX comes with Carbon Fibre nut & saddle
Other line are simply the above with different cosmetic & electric options.

Anyone out there have Carbon Fibre nut & saddle? what does that sound like? How does it hold up? If it's hard to sand, I would expect it to last...
