VANSON Compensated and Intonated Ebony Saddle for Acoustic guitars.
The easiest and cheapest way to improve the tone on your instrument is to start with the strings breaking points, i.e. the nut and then the saddle. The compensated saddle essentially changes the scale length of your B string to correct the intonation that is an inherent problem with standard tuning on all acoustic guitars. There is also an angled carve across the EAD strings to improve intonation further.
Ebony, along with bone, is renowned to be one of the best materials to retain your guitars natural tone, allowing for a better attack and greater sustain. Master luthiers, and professional musicians swear by it, and you 'll notice it's saved for brands' Custom Shop and Deluxe models, even though it's cheap enough for them to put it on all their guitars.
Our nuts and saddles are produced from select, high quality materials, precision cut and polished.
