8.7. Other notable causes for balance problems
- Check string angles behind the saddle. They should be
about the same behind every string. If the angle is too low,
the string will not put enough pressure on the transducer
and that may cause balance problems - usually higher
output from the corresponding string. To deepen the angle,
you can, for example, file a wedge-shaped groove on the
bridge pinhole so that the string will have deeper angle
behind the saddle.
- With some instruments the outer most strings are too
close to the edge of the saddle, causing balance problems
to these strings. It may happen that the E string at the end
of the UST does not come as loud as other strings. In this
case, make another, shallow hole (not all the way through)
at that end of the saddle cavity and move the pickup so the
tip of the UST goes in the hole. If nothing else helps, you
should machine the saddle slot longer and use a new
longer saddle.
- Another somewhat common cause for balance problems
is the movement of the instrument top as it “lives” and
moves especially during transport or by change of season
when the humidity changes. Because of this the bottom of
the saddle slot could become arched, not straight, as the
top becomes more or less arched. By making the saddle
flexible this problem can be avoided.
8.8. Other problems
If you notice any other problems, please contact the dealer,
distributor or manufacturer, for help.

10. EU / Declaration of Conformity

USING SANDPAPER OR FILE, SHAPE BOTTOM EDGES
AT LENGTH OF THE SADDLE TO LOOK LIKE THIS.
NO MORE THAN 0.5mm SHOULD BE TAKEN AWAY.
SADDLE EDGE MODIFICATION-
WHENTHERE IS STRING BALANCE AND SIGNAL
OUTPUT PROBLEMS DO THIS MODIFICATION TO THE
SADDLE.
8.6. If the balance problem does not disappear on its
own, do the following:
- Check there is no debris or paint in the saddle slot.
- Check saddle that it is not too loose or tight in its slot. If it
is too loose the saddle can tilt when the strings are
tightened. The tilt will bring the bottom of the saddle off the
pickup causing balance problems. If it is too tight it could be
possible the saddle is not going all the way down on the
pickup making a bad connection and causing balance
problems.
- Check the bottoms of both the saddle slot and saddle.
They should be flat and straight. If all things mentioned
above are correct, and there still is a balance problem, try
the following simple modification:
