What's That Thing Called...?

[DrChrisMD]

Hey, all:

I'm looking for a name to that part on an acoustic bridge...I'll try to explain it.

It's like a saddle, but wider, and screws down at each end. I forgot about it when I went to go replace it (it's an old guitar), and the saddle I bought was long, narrow and more or less not big enough for the space that holds it in the bridge.

I need the name of this part so I can buy it and finally put this thing back together.

Thanks,

Chris

The name for that is an "adjustable saddle". The part that sits in it is then called an adjustable saddle "insert". If it is a wierd or noname axe, I end up having to make them.
