Replogle Reso REP-SME1B Resonator Saddles - Split Maple/Ebony Capped

Replogle Reso maple saddles offer a customizable (spider or biscuit-bridge) resonator guitar sound with a Maple saddle, delivering a rich tone and the traditional vintage sound that only comes from hardrock maple. The split maple/ebony cap configuration ensures an even and balanced sound, with the plain maple placed under the plain strings to keep them from becoming too bright, while the ebony cap on the saddle beneath the wound strings serves to brighten them up to match the plain strings.

The Replogle Reso maple saddles bring the time-honored dobro tone while providing the strength and volume of the traditional maple saddle. This solid, hand-selected hardrock Maple and Ebony construction is designed to offer exceptional tone and sustain, making it a perfect fit for both spider-bridge and biscuit-bridge resonator guitars.

The split ebony cap on the saddle plays a crucial role in achieving the desired string balance, tone, and sustain. This innovative design ensures that the plain strings retain their even and not-too-bright character, while the wound strings are brightened up to create a much more harmonious and well-balanced sonic profile.

To ensure a perfect fit and optimal performance, the Replogle Reso maple saddles require final trimming and slotting. The dimensions of the saddle are 2-5/8" x 3/4" x 1/8" (66.68mm x 19.05mm x 3.18mm), making it a versatile choice that can be easily integrated into a wide range of resonator guitar models.
