CA's composite bridges

[Doubleneck]

I want to lower the action slightly on my new CA legacy and I want to keep the orginal intact. My older CA used a Tusque saddle sized for a Taylor guitar. The new one has a black saddle made of I assume a composite material. Am I better off getting another CA black saddle? Are these really better than Tusque or possibly bone? Anyone had any experience with this.
Thanks
Steve

You mean "saddle," yes?

Contact CA... they sent me two spare nuts (well, a local dealer sent them to me) at no cost and no trouble

I recently bought a used CA X Performer (raw finish) for a good price. The string response was way off. I'm guessing that's why the previous owner didn't want it and consigned it to a gtr shop. I knew that this was a problem that could be fixed by my luthier. My luthier replaced the original saddle w/ a bone saddle and it immediately brought the string response to what it should have been. It made it even across all the strings. I threw the original saddle away.

I am going to experiment with different saddles on my Legacy. CA emailed me and they are sending me free another carbon saddle for a lower action. I really like this guitar, so I will see what bone does to it eventually.
