Fender Sonoran Compensated Sadde – Extra tall

Fender Sonoran compensated sadde. Extra tall.

My Sonoran was plagued by a horrible fret buzz after 3 years or so of ownership.

I found this to be caused by a warped neck with a heavy backbow.

After working the truss-rod a little bit more than it likes, the fret buzz still didn’t go away completely.

So I dirty fixed it with 3D printing a taller saddle. And it works surprisingly well, at least for a novce guitarist like myself. The guitar sounds better than it ever has before, and desipte a tad much string height, it’s way better than the dreadful fret-buzz it used to have.

This saddle is designed to be way-more-than-tall-enough. This allows for fine-tuning with file or rotary-tool after 3D printing. Hence 100% infill should be used, otherwise you’d be left with thin air, after filing away on this thing.
