The Guild Guitars store used to sell a really nice, compensated, bone saddle that fits the slots of NH and Oxnard models. Hopefully they will have them back in stock soon.

I bought this one for my Oxnard D40. Really nice. Had to sand a bit for fit but that’s pretty standard.

Just a quick update to close the loop on this, I did purchase one of Bob Colosi's shim kits and I'm very satisfied with the results. The shim alone brought the action up a bit more than I liked, but some light sanding quickly remedied that. Action currently sits at a comfortable 6/64" at the 12th fret. Playability is excellent and I don't hear any loss in tone or volume.

Thanks again to all who contributed to this discussion and helped with a solution!
