This bears repeating. Taylor with NT necks should have the neck angle changed first for best action, which is no big deal for an authorized tech who has the shims. Taylor will recommend that as a first step, then replacing the saddle and possibly making tiny adjustments to its height as the final tweak.

However, that saddle needs to be replaced. Anything else will be chasing your tail, action-wise. You can try a new Tusq saddle first, and f that fixes the problem, then you are done. If not, time to take it to a tech for further "action".
