I have a classical guitar that I am in the process of changing out the bone saddle. It has a different size neck and fingerboard than any of my other classical guitars. I didn't even think of that when I got the new parts. Fortunately I will have plenty of material to use, but it will take a lot of filing to get it to where I think it should be. It was missing strings and saddle when I first got it used from a thrift store many years ago, and I just made one out of plastic and it worked flawless. I decided since I never play it (got for a daughter who never wanted to learn to play for long), I was going to sell it, and decided to fix it first....now I ran across your video to confirm that you have to do customizing. I am just shocked at how much filing I will end up doing and even shortening it a tad! The width of the neck is so much narrower, like a regular acoustic guitar neck thickness! (It is a Conservarte made in Korea) Thanks for sharing your video....

This was the most chill video ever. You even stopped in the middle to chill with your dog on the couch, lol.

Hi Rich. Thank you for your info.. but most importantly sharing about your first interest into the Classical Guitar music. Me too! I heard and watched someone play Spanish Romance! It moved me to the point I have changed my journey to Classical now.. the Spanish music too! So happy that I'm not alone in this experience. Keep going. Warm wishes.

if he has money to pay a real luthier, pay him to do a professional job ... it is NOT for an amateur...

Thanks for the comment, only way to learn it to try 🤷♂️ But you’re right, it’s a hugely skilled craft and this guitar has since been to a luthier that I have worked with on multiple guitars
