Default Where to buy bone nut/saddle for lefty guitars?

Hi all,

I need to change my saddle and nut on my Martin D16 and D18.

I can’t seem to find any pre-slotted bone saddles/nuts specific to Martin left handed guitars. I can see that they do exist for right handed guitars (at Sweetwater, StewMac etc).

If I cannot find pre-slotted bone saddle/nut, can anyone recommend where to buy unslotted for lefty guitars?

Thanks in advance.

Call Bob - he’s a nice guy, his products are top quality. A little more expensive than the likes of the suppliers you mentioned, but worth the money and the wait.

The usual disclaimers apply......IMHO, YMMV etc.

+1 on Bob Colosi. I have a couple of bone saddles from him. He's got many customers and fans here on the AGF over the past 10+ years.

Ditto. Top quality, well worth the little extra cost.
