I have known Dan since his early days playing with American Music Club. These days he lives closer to the country and is strumming a Gibson Acoustic guitar. The problem was the saddles he keeps putting in continues to break because it was so tall. The neck set on this guitar is so far back the saddle needs to stick out so far just to play. So on a trip back to SF he asked what I thought about making a brass saddle. AT first I thought NO….But then as I looked it over and explored the options I decided to give it a try. Brass gets HOT…. When all was said and done, it worked and sounded great. It may of even fattened up the tone a little.
