I need to replace the bridge saddle on my Fender DG-20CE. I have been searching the internet all day. I can't find a place that I can order it from. I want to find the proper bridge saddle and not some cheap replacement that will affect the sound or how well the guitar stays in tune. Can anyone help me?

Welcome to the Forum.

I recommend Tusq ( http://www.graphtech.com/products.html?CategoryID=1 ). You will need to measure your stock saddle. If you can not find the exact size you may need to resize just a little. Very easy to do.

I like the Tusq saddles too. Noticed a big difference. They also make bridgepins and nuts but haven't tried them.

I would agree that TUSQ saddle and bridge pins will make a HUGE difference in tonal quality-and it is for the better if your present bridge is plastic. You will immediately notice improved sustain and tonal decay. Takes what could be classified as muddy on most guitars and turns it into very nice tone.

The tusq bridge pins are nice as well. I got mine (the saddle and bridge pins) from music123.com decent prices, will match or beat any other advertised price and lightening quick shipping. Definately worth it.

I have a a question about ordering the bridge saddle replacement. My son lost the one on his DG20CE. I know it was a compensated bridge but can't find any specs on its size. Can Tusq, Fender or any of the manufacturers match it for that guitar?

Contact your local authorized Fender dealer.

Years ago I called the CF Martin company to purchase parts. They were very customer friendly and you could just about buy any part from them. Check with your local luthier to see what would fit. Perhaps the Martin compensated saddles may fit.
