Im lowering the action on my acoustic, and in case I make a balls of it, i want to have a spare saddle and nut. The saddle must be pre-shaped and the nut must have grooves already filed, as i dont have a set of nut files.

Ive found this place, but the nut is plastic, and id rather try a bone nut.

anyone know anywhere that i might get such parts?
StewMac dont have a saddle the right length so they are out of the question.

Luthiers Mercantile International are usually great. Very reliable and great to deal with.
