I am a leftie (and a total novice guitar builder), and my Stewmac Dreadnought kit I am currently building has had plenty of modifications already...being a bit of a bracing purist, I switched the bracing plans to suit a leftie player, because of the strength needed on the treble end, and to avoid possible tone discrepancies (this is debatable of course) Here is the poor victim in question...
Now I could buy a leftie bridge with saddle routed, but I have two ebony bridges at home plus a righty guitar that has a Saddleboy conversion (a device to switch saddle without using the dreaded router). I hope that one day I can permanently convert the rightie (it already has a lefty nut)
It seems common sense to "have a go" and try and re-rout the saddle myself. I have the spare materials to plug the existing saddle, but need to ask questions about the actual dimensions of where the saddle should go.
I have been told it is easy enough to take the existing dimensions and simply switch them (ie. the slant) I , however don't think it can be that simple, can it?
Sorry to be asking a stupid question, but it seems in Luthiery, one is always thinking waayy ahead...
