I want to put a new set of strings on it...I am not sure what is on it now and Stuart is on vacation...these have the B and E plain strings that are gold in color. Anyone have any ideas what these are? Mike I just signed in to catch up. I am pretty certain that I put on some of Martin's Eric Clapton special. Likely they were some Extra lights. Not my normal as I tend to use Custom light (11's)Elixirs on the O's and A's. |

Just remember, there's no such thing as stupid questions, just stupid people. Actually, every Martin I've owned or played has the "B" string compensation. It's in the way the saddle is ground. It's just hard to see from a straight on picture. (stupid people?...sheesh) :D

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | I have owned over 10 high end Martins over the years and have never had a compensated saddle on any of them...
Taylor's...yes
Tak's...yes
Martins...no
Martin has never used a Compensated saddle on a vintage, RI, or historically accurate guitar that I have ever seen...maybe on their new models but not on their long time cataloged items; at least not that I have ever seen... |

Standard series use B compensated saddles. Vintage, Golden Era and Marquis series do not. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Dave, that's correct: my Martins have all been older w/the exception of the vintage and custom OM's of recent...this use of compensated saddles is fairly new for Martin... |
