Dear fellow Duo-Sonic owners! Today is your lucky day. I'd like to announce to the world that I have found a set of compensated saddles that fit the Duo-Sonic perfectly, and to my surprise and delight, actually give you proper intonation. Dead-on accurate. I just checked it with my tuner.

The saddles are: GLENDALE 1/4" "Intone" saddles. I got the "Groovy Little 60's" set, since it matches the bridge the best. http://www.glendaleguitars.com/saddles.htm

The main, key criterion here is that the saddles have to be QUARTER INCH. 5/16" is too fat. I got a pair of Wilkinson's before, and the barrels were just too fat, which made the strings sit about a mile off the neck. I don't know if any other vendor manufactures saddles with quarter inch diameter barrels, but these Glendale's worked perfectly.

So if you own a Duo-Sonic, quit having regrets and frustrations about it never going to be quite good enough, I've found the answer for you all. Now buy yourself a set and get that gorgeous golden guitar of yours into proper intonation!
