The saddles are the pieces of the bridge that hold the strings in place, raises them above the bridge and angles them for playing. On electic guitars they are normally made out of metal and can be adjusted. There can either be individual saddles for each string or strings can share a saddle. On acoustic guitars they are either made out of bone or plastic and often, cannot be adjusted. Adjusting the saddles will raise or lower the action on hardtail or classic tremolo designed bridges.

  • Wide saddles tend to hinder circulation and movement, causing hip pain. Narrow saddles also cause pain that restrict the distance of cycling. The traditional way to measure the sit bones measurement was to place a pie shell between two pieces of thin paper (or wax paper) on a flat surface. Sitting on this causes two dents to appear on the surface and this is your saddle size. The traditional material for a bicycle saddle is leather and the Brookes saddle is still quite popular.
