Detail 01
Bone material
Harder and denser than plastic. Transfers string energy more efficiently, which typically brightens attack and adds sustain.

ProlineAcoustic Bone Blank Saddle
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An unshaped bone saddle blank for acoustic guitars. For techs and players who want to cut and fit their own saddle rather than buy pre-slotted.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Correcting action height that a pre-made saddle can't dial in
- Replacing a plastic saddle to firm up attack and sustain
- Repair bench stock for varied bridge slot widths
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want a drop-in part with no shaping
- Anyone without files, sandpaper and a way to measure action
- Guitars with under-saddle pickups, unless you can keep the base dead flat
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Blank, not pre-shaped
Oversized in every dimension. You sand the thickness, cut the length, and shape the height and crown yourself.
Detail 03
Saddle, not nut
This sits in the bridge and sets string height at the body end. It also controls intonation at the bridge.
Detail 04
Flat bottom
Full contact with the bridge slot matters more than anything else for tone and for under-saddle pickup balance.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your existing saddle's thickness and length first — slot widths vary by guitar.
- 02You need files, sandpaper, a flat surface and a way to measure string height.
- 03Bone dust is unpleasant. Work outside or wear a mask.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my guitar?
It's oversized on purpose and sanded down to fit. Measure your bridge slot width and check the blank is thicker than that before ordering.
02Is bone better than plastic?
It's denser and harder, so it transfers string vibration more efficiently. Most players hear more brightness and sustain after swapping from plastic.
03Can I fit this myself?
Yes, with patience. The critical parts are a perfectly flat bottom and correct height. Rushing the height means high action or buzz.
04Does this work with an under-saddle pickup?
Yes, but the bottom must be perfectly flat and square. Any rocking or gap causes uneven string-to-string output.
