Replogle Reso REP-SMF1C Resonator Saddles - Full Maple/Ebony Capped & Compensated

The Replogle Reso maple saddle is a customizable resonator guitar sound solution that offers a rich, vintage tone crafted from hardrock maple. This traditional maple saddle provides the strength and volume that players desire, with a maple base and a full ebony cap configuration available for those using heavier string gauges. This variation yields a more even and balanced sound, addressing the infamous intonation issues often associated with reso guitars.

One of Replogle's innovations is the unique shaping and compensation of the saddle. The saddle is carved under the first two plain strings, and the remaining four wound strings are smoothly angled, significantly improving the intonation. This careful design requires final trimming and slotting to ensure a perfect fit.

The solid, hand-selected hardrock maple construction, combined with the full ebony cap, provides a heavy string balance, rich tone, and impressive sustain. This saddle is compatible with both spider-bridge and biscuit-bridge resonator guitars, offering versatility for players.

The Replogle Reso maple saddle's dimensions are 2-5/8" x 3/4" x 1/8" (66.68mm x 19.05mm x 3.18mm), providing a secure and precise fit for the guitar's bridge. The maple saddle's unique design and high-quality materials ensure that players can achieve the traditional vintage sound they desire, with improved intonation and a balanced, powerful tone.

In conclusion, the Replogle Reso maple saddle is a versatile and innovative solution for customizing the sound of resonator guitars. Its hardrock maple construction, ebony cap, and precise shaping and compensation deliver a rich, vintage tone with enhanced intonation, making it a must-have for discerning reso guitar enthusiasts.
