About Acoustic Guitar Saddle
The saddle plays the same role as the nut. If you need a refresher on the nut, head to the top of the page. What the saddle does is, just as the nut holds the string in place at the top of the guitar, the saddle does the same at the bottom. In the saddle are six grooves for the strings to nestle snugly inside on their way to the string pegs, where they will end their long trip. The saddle is there for string support, and to keep them tight so the sounds you play are strong and crisp. If you need direction, the saddle is the white strip of material in the picture to the right.
