Replogle Reso REP-SMF1B Resonator Saddles - Maple/Ebony for Players

The resonator guitar sound can be customized with a Maple saddle, which provides a rich tone and the traditional vintage sound that can only be achieved with hardrock maple. Replogle Reso maple saddles offer the time-honored dobro tone, while also delivering the strength and volume of the traditional maple saddle.

For players who use heavier string sets, a variation with a maple base and a full ebony cap configuration is available. This configuration yields an even tone on those special string sets, resulting in a much more balanced and even sound. However, the saddle will require final trimming and slotting.

The key features of the Replogle Reso maple saddle include:

Solid hand-selected hardrock maple: The use of high-quality, hand-selected hardrock maple ensures the saddle's durability and tonal properties.

Full ebony cap for heavy string balance, tone, and sustain: The ebony cap provides enhanced string balance, rich tone, and improved sustain, particularly when using heavier string gauges.

Fits both spider-bridge and biscuit-bridge: The saddle is designed to be compatible with both the spider-bridge and biscuit-bridge resonator guitar designs.

Final trimming and slotting is required: As with many guitar components, the saddle will need to be trimmed and slotted to fit the specific guitar it is being installed on.

The physical dimensions of the saddle are 2-5/8" x 3/4" x 1/8" (66.68mm x 19.05mm x 3.18mm).

In summary, the Replogle Reso maple saddle offers guitarists the opportunity to customize the sound of their resonator guitars with a high-quality, traditional maple saddle. The option of the maple base with a full ebony cap configuration caters to players who prefer a more even and balanced tone when using heavier string sets. Regardless of the guitar's bridge design, the Replogle Reso maple saddle can be easily integrated and fine-tuned to achieve the desired vintage resonator tone.
