Description
The Taylor 80650 is a tall bone saddle designed for right-handed Taylor 6-string acoustic guitars. Featuring Taylor’s wave-profiled design, this saddle improves intonation, balance, and clarity across all strings, while its taller height provides extra adjustment range for setups requiring more saddle material.
A tall saddle is typically required when:
- The guitar’s neck angle has shifted slightly and a standard-height saddle no longer provides sufficient string clearance.
- Extra saddle height is needed to restore proper action (string height above the frets).
- A luthier recommends more adjustment room during a neck reset or setup.
Crafted from natural bone, the 80650 delivers superior sustain, harmonic richness, and tonal detail compared to synthetic alternatives. As an OEM replacement, it is precision-cut to Taylor’s factory specifications for a perfect fit and faithful reproduction of your guitar’s tone.
