I recently purchased a 1991 Givens A3 off the classifieds here. The saddle of the bridge is cracked. Right now, it still plays great and the crack is not causing any issues I can tell. At some point, if/when I have to do something I guess I have three options:
1) Glue it - I've read that results can be mixed
2) New saddle - The owner included a new replacement bridge (unopened) with the mandolin. The saddle is 2 1/4 (screw to screw). The Givens seems like it's 2 3/16. Would I need a custom saddle?
3). New bridge - Rather work with what I have but I guess it's a fall back option.
Any thoughts?
