    While waiting for the new bridge, I'm using a non compensated which was originally on the guitar. Its a little better but not really good. @guavajelly Flipping a compensated saddle produces the same compensation.

    I got the saddles and replaced the middle one. Its playable now. Its not perfect but good enough not to irritate me. I will keep it going i.e. looking for better replacement. I believe that compensation on these is too big. I will look for smaller diff, angled ones and possibly adjustable saddles.

    These are Goldo harmonic brass barrel saddles. Can you see the slant? These you can flip for wound or un-wound G. They are much better IMO, your experiences may differ.
    Someone in the reviews for these saddles says that he can't lower down the saddles enough. Quote: " I can not adjust the action at both E-strings lower than 2mm since the outer edges of the saddles touch the 'ashtray' even with the ajustment screws fully retracted". What is your action?
