Herman,
On your picture of the bridge, is the angle of each of the saddle sections the same? I'm setting up to route some and wanted to try a split saddle this time. What angle are you using if you wouldn't mind sharing the specs?
Thanks, Carl
Pinless bridge procedure please

Hey Carl,
On this guitar it is parallel, but my aim is the tucking the lower end of the high saddle just behind the lower saddle. The spot of the high E is a tiny bit forward, but not as far as the "line" of the lower saddle.
So in short, the higher saddle has a bit more angle than the lower one.
The angle of the lower saddle (4th to 6th) is made, following the line like a traditional single saddle:
1st string position: 3 mm from the front of the saddle,
6th string position: 6 mm from the front of the saddle.
After that the higher saddle is routed.
This is the idea:

Thank you very much! I'll give it a try soon.
