It's only my theory, and there is some flexibility in TUSQ and bone. As a former dozen or so RainSong owner, I don't want to believe that the company would resort to a Mickey Mouse approach to compensate for an ongoing manufacturing process that results in top-dishing. Frankly, I don't want to believe that every RainSong I've owned has had some top-dishing to varying amounts but they have and it's my theory that the 16-inch radius saddle helps match the saddle to the fingerboard radius when the saddle is under string pressure. Another reason to use the 16 inch radius saddle is that I don't think TUSQ makes a 20 inch radius saddle so the 16 inch radius saddle takes care of two niggling problems for RainSong.
