I used a ox bone saddle off amazon and just cut and filed it by hand. I am also going to use a wooden bridge just because its my preference, but I didn’t have a 5/8 one on hand so I’m waiting for it to come.
I put a drop of black gel food coloring in the water while I soaked it just to darken it a tad. Its a 22″ scale.
