Just put a new Tusq saddle on my Breedlove that I have had for 6 months now. It sounded great but now it sounds even better with the new saddle.
But now its WOW! Has a bit more of a fuller sound not quite so treble-ish. Kinda softens the tinny sound.
I also lowered the action, I was having a bit of trouble with barre chords on the higher frets.
Can't tell what came off the guitar as far as the saddle, dropping it sounds like its a Tusq but there is a definitive tonal change with the new one.

Thanks to Bill S. He showed me the Tusq pick at camp and since I've been using them exclusively. Now adding the saddle the sound is fantastic.

So the long and the short of this post. I am amazed that some of the smallest change have a big effect on sound and playability.
