Guitar Repair #1198 - Saddle Repair - Takamine EG340C - Acoustic

Takamine EG340C
Original saddle is the Takamine integrated saddle which doesn't allow taking material off the bottom of the saddle to lower the action. The only way is to remove whatever shim it has below...
...but to lower the height further, the client decided for me to work the top of saddle to be shaved lower…
...then re-established the compensated shape...
...likeso for perfect intonation.
As low as it can get.
Action at 12th fret
D’addario EJ10
