Unbleached Acoustic Guitar Bone Nut & Saddle Set Compatible with YMH FG Acoustic Guitar 43mm / 75mm

This bone nut and saddle set replaced the plastic on my entry-level Yamaha guitar. The nut fit perfectly as it came; the saddle needed to be sanded a bit thinner and lower and shaped to the appropriate profile, but after about an hour's work, it is just right. Oh, my gosh what a noticeable difference in sound. I combined these with a set of brass bridge pins; the results are night and day. The guitar is brighter, fuller, and has more sustain. I always found this cheap dreadnought to be noticeably unbalanced between the bass and treble sounds; so much better now! And the unbleached bone contributes a vintage look; much better than the artificial white of the plastic.What an upgrade for almost no money! Highly recommended.

Perfect fit in the slot in my FS800 bridge. The saddle is a bit thicker than the original plastic one was so it fits more snugly into the slot. The saddle is taller than the original and I had to sand the bottom down to match the original.Problem is, at the Low E end, the saddle is considerably taller than the original, thus I could not lower the whole thing by sanding the bottom , for that would have made the High E end too low.The only choice I had was to sand the top. Very carefully. Most of the strings are close, with the High E end right at 1.7mm. But the Low E string is still too high. So I will have to sand that one a little more. That's where I am right now. The first three strings are at or close to 1.7mm. The next two are close to 2mm. The Low E (6th string is a little greater than 2.5mm. I want to get it closer to 2 or even 2.2.I've not yet installed the nut but it looks to be very close to the original plastic nut. This project is to upgrade the guitar to bone rather than the existing plastic, and that includes a set of bone pins. Then comes new strings.By the way, if anyone is wondering if my problem with the string height might be related to the neck relief, I have set that already. It's good per common settings. .008.

Absolutely excellent!The stock nut on my wife's Yamaha FS800 was WAY too high and physically hurt to play in the first fret. This was the reason why my wife quit playing. Additionally the action was too high as well. I was able to easily fit and install this bone nut and saddle and now the nut slots are at the correct height and the action was lowered to a low/medium range. It's like we have a completely new guitar. Bonus is that the natural bone color looks better than the stock white plastic and originally the guitar had a lot of buzzing right before the nut (which I used an elastic hair-tie to eliminate) and now with the new nut the buzz went completely away so no need for a work-around.Just be aware that you will have to sand these down to get them to work for you. The saddle was almost an 8th of an inch higher than the stock saddle so I had to remove quite a lot of material before I could even start lowering the action. The nut was almost an exact copy of the original so I only had to remove a little from the bottom before the nut slots were at a good height. I could have used nut files to get everything 100% perfect but just filing the bottom got me 99% of the way there and there is no buzzing so all is good. Just remember to go slow. This is the first time I've ever fully set up an acoustic and I think it is a pretty easy project even for a first-timer.The only negative I had was was the nut was slightly too thick on the treble side. I had to not only sand from the bottom but also the side to get it to fit. Just a minor issue.

These are a perfect fit for yamaha guitars that have a nut width of 43mm. I have tried it on my csf-ta as well as a ac3m. The bridge is identical to the plastic one these 2 guitars come with. All you need to do sand it down to the right height. The nut is a perfect fit as well. Again sand slots as needed.

While you can probably use the bridge it is too loose and will fall out to easily (the fs5's bridge is a little thicker than this version). The nut will also be 1mm too short so won't be flush though it it is the right thickness if that makes sense

Took minimal sanding to fit my yamaha fg830. Good quality material, string spacing and depth of grooves were a match to original. Saddle radius is different however it matches the fretboard radius. Made an improvement in tone. Nothing drastic, more like an EQ adjustment that was much needed.

Bought it for my Yamaha FG830 to replace the plastic saddle (I haven't tried the nut yet). The saddle fits perfectly. Just had to sand it down a bit to adjust the height (which is a personal preference, of course). The guitar sounds so much better with this saddle. I did not expect that the difference would be so significant. Definitely worth the money.

fit perfectly on a 1969 yamaha fg110. slots are perfect for light gauge strings (10s i think are on there). just know you'll probably have to file down the height of both nut and bridge - i put the file against a vertical metal plate (desk part)- to ensure i filed it down evenly. its not hard.

Both the nut and saddle bone fit perfectly on my FG830 Yamaha Acoustic, however, the corner of the saddle bone broke off as I tightened the #6 string. Careful when using this product, the bone is really brittle - use caution.
