He can also make them to order, and sells tools and handmade stringwinders and whatnot. He even sent out a little pack of sandpaper and scotchbright for finishing the saddle and pins, and a little wooden block for holding the pins while you get them to size... and a DVD of instructions (he kind of blew me away with his service!). Anyhow, his website's here (but we found him on ebay) http://www.chrisalsopguitar.co.uk/cg...SaddlesHeading

I hope all that doesn't seem like too much of a plug for him, but spreading the word about the nice guys seems the right thing to do here!
Thanks for the quick reply! Not too much of a plug at all in my opinion...it is the right thing to do!
