Compensated bridge question
I just got a new mandola, strung as a tenor 4-string guitar. It came with a guitar-style bridge and a flat (1/8") non-compensated saddle.
I would love to get a compensated one, I am not finding simple blanks I can cut string slots in (that level of work I can do myself), so wondering what my options are if anyone knows about this.
The fretboard is flat (non-radiused), and the bottom three strings are wound, only the top is plain steel, requiring a special saddle to play in tune up the neck.
Kinda wondering what my options are here, not finding any blank saddles at stewmac that I could work with (starting with a 1/4 blank exceeds my skills).
A simple flat (non-radiused) 1/8" blank would allow me to get pretty far just by cutting the slots differently, but I can't even find one of those.
Thanks.
