Martin Strings - 18SL0001 Sillet de chevalet os brut

The Martin 18SL0001 bridge saddle is made from raw bone, a material renowned for its density and stability. This choice of material ensures efficient transmission of vibrations between the strings and the soundboard. The result is a more balanced sound throughout the entire register.

The bone also contributes to better note definition, particularly in the attack. Harmonics remain legible, even on open chords. This unfinished saddle is ideal for both replacement and tuning optimisation. Its blank format gives you the freedom to adjust it precisely to your guitar. You can work on intonation and action according to your playing preferences.

The 3" length is the standard for Martin acoustic bridges. The shaping allows the saddle to be adapted to different string gauges. This type of part is often used during a complete adjustment or restoration. It is designed for guitarists who pay close attention to the mechanical behaviour of their instrument.

Installation requires precise adjustment to take full advantage of the material.
