Description
The Taylor 80653 is a tall micarta saddle designed for left-handed Taylor 6-string acoustic guitars. Featuring Taylor’s wave-profiled design, this saddle enhances intonation, balance, and tonal consistency across all six strings. The taller profile provides additional height for setups that require more saddle material.
A tall saddle is generally needed when:
- The guitar’s neck angle has shifted and a standard-height saddle no longer provides adequate string clearance.
- Extra height is required to restore proper action (string height above the frets).
- A neck reset or luthier setup calls for more saddle adjustment range.
Made from micarta, this OEM replacement offers durability, tonal stability, and smooth response. Precision-cut to Taylor’s factory specifications, the 80653 ensures proper fit and reliable performance.
