  • :)  Yup, having the saddle about two inches further up and away from the tail end allows for more top vibration, tone and volume.  At least theoretically.   Look at a good factory acoustic as an example.  

    But these CBG beasts often defy theory in what works and what does not work    

    Tips from a mediocre builder.  One of my specialties!~

  • i just figured out what you were saying (measure the saddle to be further in on the box, not so close to the edge. That is something to consider... thanks - I have picked up on so many little things in the short time I've been here - I can't wait to apply some of it to my builds in the future (always looking for the "even better" :-)  )

  • Great f holes.  Super nice box.  I do like the saddle more inboard for (in theory) better acoustic sound and volume.

  • Thank you - this was my main plank for a long time. it sounds really good, lots of substain for a piezo pickup.
  • Nice lookin' build !!
