SO I JUST BOUGHT MY 11-YEAR-OLD SON A STARCASTER ACOUSTIC GUITAR, REPLACED THE TUNERS, POLISHED THE FRETS/FRETWIRES, AND ADDED EXTRA LIGHT STRINGS, AND NOW IT APPEARS THAT I NEED A REPLACEMENT SADDLE...THE SADDLE UNDER THE G-STRING IS CRACKING AND DISINTEGRATING ...ANYONE SUGGEST WHERE TO GET ONE?
THANKS IN ADVANCE,
backlineguy

You can find saddles easily online just by searching for them, but I'd recommend getting it from a music shop you know that stocks good acoustic equipment. Most saddles are inexpensive. Here's a link for amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywor ... uw5v75jn_e

I replaced the stock bone saddle on my CD220SCE when it crumbled under the G string as well. Put in a Graphtech Tusq saddle, made a great improvement in tone.

things like that,if not found in your local guitar center are usually either found at a sam ash music store with a repair center...or mom and pop shops that specialize in spare parts and such...best i can tell you....

went to Amazon, ordered Acoustic Guitar Bone Saddle - Taylor Style- Compensated, and a 5 pack of Plastic saddles from Uxcell...should be able to find one that fits the bill in there! Thanks for all the help!

Anytime mate, good luck. End of the day, a saddle is a saddle, Fender or not :)
