Grover B 3342 Acoustic Guitar Bridge

The saddle is poor quality, soft plastic. It's also too thin for the saddle slot and has just been glued in. The botton of the saddle slot is rounded, not flat, which means more work to make a new bone saddle fit snugly into the slot.

The wood is referred to as "ebonized" which is just misleading marketing. This is a lighter colored wood that has been painted dark. I have no idea what kind of wood it is. It seems reasonably hard but to to call it "ebonized" is just silly.

The raised end of the bridge (behind the saddle) won't work with all guitars. You may need to sand it down to avoid the strings catching it (and ruin the break angle over the saddle).

There is no height adjustment here of course so you'll just have to sand down the bridge to the correct height for your guitar. This will need to be done carefully. If you go too far you're bascially buying a new saddle. This isn't really an issue if you know what you're doing but the poor quality, plastic saddle is. If you want your guitar to sound great you will need to replace that junk with a harder material, like bone.

I was refurbishing an old Kay parlor guitar I found in a junk shop, and this bridge was just the thing I needed! Great quality, looks the part, and more importantly sounds the part. If you're in the need for a flat top floating bridge, give this a look.

Although it doesn't rank in the top five greatest moments of my life, receiving this in the post might just nudge it's way into the top 20.
