REP-SME1CR Resonator Saddles - Split Maple/Ebony Capped Compensated & Radius

Customize the (spider or biscuit-bridge) resonator guitar sound with a Maple saddle for rich tone and the traditional vintage sound that only comes from hardrock maple. Replogle Reso maple saddles bring the time-honored dobro tone while providing the strength and volume of the traditional maple saddle. The split maple/ebony cap configuration puts the plain maple under the plain strings to keep them even and not too bright, while the ebony cap on the saddle beneath the wound strings serves to brighten them up to match the plain strings, yielding a much more even and balanced sound. Reso guitars are infamous for intonation problems. Another Replogle innovation is to carve the saddle under the first two plain strings, and then smoothly angling the other four wound strings to greatly improve the intonation. A standard 16” radius is added and then compensated for models with radiused fingerboards The saddle requires final trimming and slotting.
