Adjustable Ceramic Saddle for GIBSON/EPIPHONE, etc. Made in Japan A replica of the parts used around 1963 by Gibson, this is the most common type of ceramic saddle. There are string marks in the image, but it was only used for about 2 hours, and I didn't feel any unevenness when I touched it with my fingers. The underlay plate is unused. I am selling it because I am getting rid of the guitar it was installed on. The following is an excerpt from the description at the time of purchase: This ceramic saddle is made of high-purity alumina ceramic with a purity of 99% or more. It has excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance, and abrasion resistance, and is recommended as a replacement part, upgrade, or spare for your GIBSON/EPIHONE, etc. This is a set of a ceramic saddle and a reinforcing steel plate. It's a product from about 20 years ago. No box is included. This is a made-in-Japan replacement part, not a genuine Gibson product. Please understand that it is not new. Thank you.
