Hey Dan -
I'm having problems with a couple of the saddles on my R8. They're causing the unwound strings to bind when tuning and then abruptly go sharp/flat when the string is bent. The problem goes away when I lift the string out of the saddle groove and tune up with the string resting on the flat part of the saddle.
Is this something I can clean up/adjust myself with the right set of saddle files, or do I have to start all over with a new set of saddles and have them re-grooved? If it's easy, can you give me a quick how-to and point me to the right tools on stewmac?
Thanks!
