Acoustic guitar Saddle

[t3rr3nc3z]

Hey guys, just got my acoustic and wanna buy a new saddle because the Low E string has loads of buzz. The saddle is kinda low. Any recommendation on Saddles ? and where to buy them. Thanks

Sometimes buzzing is not caused by the saddle height but the warping of the neck which can be rectified by adjusting the truss rod.
If its really the saddle, you may wish to cut small strips of thin plastic material to fill the saddle groove just to raise the saddle a little.
This must be done with care so that the saddle sits firmly . Do not use soft material as this will dampen the sound. If you have a piezo buildin saddle....
seek pro-help.

Best saddles I've ever gotten were from Tomas Music Centre at Roxy Square. I got one for my acoustic and one for my classical and they fitted really nicely with just minimal sanding. The acoustic ones they have are very consistent in dimensions and well compensated.

Cheap too.

Yeah, in the mean time i just placed a thin cardboard resting under the low E string
