SADDLE TIP FROM BILL:
A finger nail EMERY BOARD is perfect for finishing the saddle. A medium to coarse grade sand paper will remover material quickly, a fine grade sand paper should be used to finish. The side of the saddle may need rounding to match the saddle slot perfectly. If material needs be taken from the bottom of the saddle to lower string action or the sides of the saddle (if the saddle is to tight do not force it into the slot) make sure the emery board is laying on a flat service and move the saddle across it while the emery board remains motionless. Do not try to hold the saddle and remove material from the bottom or side area, a precise 90 degree angle should be maintained
.
~
The saddle material used for Takamine G Series guitars is ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) Plastic.
The colour of the raw material used to make ABS is translucent ivory to white.
The most important mechanical properties of ABS are impact resistance and toughness.
Stability under load is excellent with limited loads.
A set of Bronze wound acoustic guitar strings can vary between 130 – 215 lbs of tension depending on the gauge
and other factors of the string so ABS is a good choice of material for the moderately priced G Series instrument.
Even though ABS plastics are used largely for mechanical purposes they also have electrical properties that are
fairly constant over a wide range of frequencies, again making it a good choice for a cost effective acoustic guitar saddle.
Pro Series Takamine guitars feature bone saddles.

RETURNS & SHIPPING
AddictedToToneInc does not accept returns.
The item listed in this ad is designed to improve the tone
of your Takamine guitar or for replacing a defective component.
I can help you diagnose the problem with your Takamine system.
Please contact me before you order an item you do not actually need.
AddictedToToneInc does not accept returns because of a third parties ineptitude,
specifically “repair technicians” that do not know how to properly diagnose
defects of the individual components used in the Takamine electronic system.
AddictedToToneInc checks each component for defect
when the new product is received from Takamine and
verifies its working condition once again before it is shipped.
~
Tested 100%
The item you are purchasing is inspected and tested before they are shipped to make absolutely sure everything is working 100%
Time is taken to check new product when it arrives from Takamine; electronic components pass through another more thorough audio and electronics test before being packaged and shipped.
The vintage preamps and used components sold by AddictedToToneInc pass through this same testing process.
Non electronic parts like Tuners, Nuts, Saddles are carefully inspected and tested; any part that requires assembly is assembled.
Many sellers do not possess a working knowledge of the Takamine equipment they are selling and simply send merchandise without examining the item being sold.
As a guitarist, artist and former touring musician I understand how important this equipment is to the individual purchasing it;
most of my customers are casual players but for some of my clients the part being purchased is needed for work and making a livelihood
- an extended downtime can make for some potentially hungry days!
My endeavors are not approached as a mere "numbers game" or how many boxes of product I can move, for me it is much more personal,
most of my clients work very hard for their money; I appreciate and respect the fact they have chosen me to do business with.
Takamine does a fabulous job with their electronics and there are very few incidents of manufacturer defect; very, very few incidents but it does happen.
It is much easier for me to check the product for the customer before it is sent rather than wasting time discovering a defective part after it has shipped;
this is how I have always operated; it takes more of a commitment but my clients appreciate it – they know they can trust me to do the job right!
The testing process was originally started for the sake of my over-seas patrons but I quickly realized the value of it for all my clients!
Maybe I am just "old school" but this is the way I feel it should be done.
I have designed, created and employ special testing equipment for the Takamine preamps and electronic components
because it is your reputation as well as mine at stake when you walk on stage!
AddictedToToneInc hosts a special Facebook page that specializes in the science and use of the Takamine technology exclusively for our Takamine clients.
Thank you,
William “Bill” Sutherland / AddictedToToneInc
