Saddling information.
In doing research for more Guild parts for my site I traded emails with Karl E Hagstrom Jr!
I had assumed that Guild made the rosewood saddles (of course you know about assumptions). Karl said all Harp saddles that shipped to Guild had the rosewood saddles in-place and that Guild never produced them. That would explain the dizzying inconsistencies from saddle to saddle being slightly different in shapes and heights.
I have also noticed that 60’s bridges have a strait front, where as 70- ish and on have the harp front. Karl tells me that the strait fronts have a different length adjustment screw.
If any Guild Form members need a set of saddles let me know. I’ll kill the shipping and handling fee and give you a free single saddle.

P.S. Could someone please tell me how to post a photo? I’m not feeling very smart today.
