Replacing Guitar Saddle Cost?

Fawkon · 2012-08-27 22:40:18

Anyone have any idea how much it would cost to get a cracked saddle removed and replaced? Epiphone Ej-200CE is my guitar and I would like to maybe get a synthetic bone replacement saddle as the guitar sounds crap dude to bits of the bridge (plastic) having cracked away...

a bone saddle blank is about £2

I can shape and fit one in about 10 minutes.

on the occasions that I've done this for folks, I've done the nut too.

1/2 an hours total work.

I've never charged because it's been for friends and kids in church etc, but a tech should charge less than £50 for that......

bone is DEFINITELY best.....
