Works great
Easy to fit and intonation was pretty dang close. Good product.

Sounds great - some work involved
I installed this in a late 90s Seagull S6. The old saddle was worn out, with deep grooves. It was buzzy and I tracked the noise back to the saddle.I had to sand the heck out of this to get a similar height to my old saddle. Forget the sandpaper it came with and use a good sanding block. It was also a little thin and moved around in the slot. To remedy this, I spread a few layers of super glue on one side, let it dry, then sanded flat. Worked perfectly and fixed the buzz.After a few weeks with it installed, I can definitely tell my guitar just sounds better in general. A lot more sustain and better tone overall. I also replaced my beat up old plastic bridge pins. I think it looks slick. What an awesome, inexpensive way to bring the old girl back to life!

Perfect fit for 2008-2017 Seagull S6 original (teardrop pickguard)
If your Seagull was built between 2008-2017 with a classic teardrop-style pickguard and a 12 digit serial number, this bone saddle will fit wonderfully. It's shaped just like the original compensated tusq saddle, but provides (imo) better sound and lasting durability. It just needs to be sanded down height-wise to your preferred action height. Well worth the price!

Good quality, may be a little too small for a Seagull S6
I bought two unbleached bone saddles; one for a seagull and another for an alvarez. The alvarez was perfect after just a little sanding to get the length and thickness correct. The instrument is more resonant and I was able to improve the action, too.But the saddle for the seagull was too small to get a true “friction fit”. It dropped into the slot without any sanding whatsoever. It’s an S6 Mahogony Deluxe model. So I just thought I’d share my experience for other S6 owners.

Great Quality!
I spoke with MacNichol Guitars, and they recommended this saddle for my late 50's parlor guitar based on my measurements. It worked very well after some minor sanding. Very high quality and excellent customer service! Highly recommend.

Very nice saddle
I used this saddle to replace the Tusq in my Seagull six, very little fitting required, sanded the bottom to get the action where i wanted it. Sandpaper is provided, sounds great and should last a long time.

Bone Tone!
Item exactly as described. Every acoustic guitar needs a bone saddle. Installed on a guitar that has a UST and I like the sound from the bone saddle better than the tusq for both unplugged and plugged in!

Perfect size for custom install.
The saddle fit my Seagull S6 Original with just slight sanding required - an easy task. It is a precisely machined piece with compensation clearly correct. The improvement in tone and sustain is considerable compared to the stock saddle. Highly recommended.
