StewMac Acoustic Guitar Bridge Pin Hole Slotting Saw, .051" (1.3mm)

Properly seated strings will get the best sound out of your guitar, and prevent bridge plate damage, too. Our Bridge Pin Hole Slotting Saws match the bridge pin hole slots to the strings.Seating the strings properly in an acoustic bridge lets the guitar sound its best, helps prevent string breakage, makes string changing easier, and minimizes costly wear on the bridge plate. We're delighted to offer these unique new specialty saws to help busy repair shops and luthiers do an easier, more professional job.The Bridge Pin Hole Slotting Saw has been redesigned! It looks simple, but the handmade pull-stroke blade now features legendary Japanese woodworking saw craftsmanship. It's slender to fit the pin hole, and cuts smoothly, efficiently and fast, like no other blade you've used for the task. Blade length 1-3/4" (44.45mm ), overall length 5-1/4" (133.35mm). Steel blade with traditional bamboo handle. Available in two gauges: the .028" (0.7mm) narrow saw (sold separately) is for seating plain strings, and the .051" (1.3mm) wide saw is for seating wound strings.Our thanks to repairman Gene Imbody and our shop manager Todd Sams for their development work.
