BRIDGE: NEW Commercially available Bridge: $80.00 + Price of Bridge: Service includes fitting and installing the new bridge. On occasion, a new saddle may be required.

Saddles can be shimmed and built up to take care of this problem, but a new saddle is usually the better solution; as string energy is transmitted through the saddle into the bridge and bridge plate to be projected into the instrument top. Shims can absorb this energy, thus diminishing the potential sound quality and volume of your instrument.
