So you can't buy just a single saddle (DGT)?

[Intentionally Blank]

I have a 2008 DGT that at times does the sitar thing on the B string. I figured I'd just replace the saddle, but every place I've looked only sells complete sets for $100-120. I just need one. Does anyone know of a source that sells single saddles? Not seeing any on Reverb, none on eBay, none at John Mann's.

Being that this is a helpful forum, there will probably be posts here suggesting that it's not the saddle, and that the overtones I'm getting are attributable to some other setup issue. I'm sure it's the saddle. The guitar is set up well. I've experienced this same phenomenon with other guitars in the past (mostly Teles). For what it's worth, I loosened the B string, reseated the string in the saddle, and the overtone went away...for a while. It's the saddle . It's a 17 year old guitar, and all those years of the steel string digging into the brass saddle will take a toll.

I suppose I could try to file the saddle, but I don't own the proper file, and very honestly I'd rather just replace the saddle rather than buying a specialized file that may never be used again.

Anyone know where I can get one?

If you call John Mann at MannMade guitars, he might sell a single saddle. He crafted the original PRS tremolo bridges.

That's worth a shot. There are no singles on his site but you never know until you ask!

You might even want to actually talk to someone at PRS and see if they would sell a single saddle after you explain your situation!

Try swapping it with the low E and see if that helps until you get a replacement.
