When I changed strings this time I noticed the saddle was allowing the first string to be much lower than the rest. How difficult is this for a newbie to repair or should I leave this to a pro. The saddle is going to have to be replaced. :?:

The saddle should match the radius of your fretboard, so both e strings should be equally low.The A&L saddle is compensated. If you need a new one I'm pretty sure you can buy a stock one. I've seen them on EBay. Make sure you stay with bone or Tusq. Always measure before replacing.
