Hello, i found this in the trash if you can believe it. ITs a low end Fender acoustic, but hey for free, I thought id try to get it running again. my local shope said $60-$70 would do it, but I thought id try to fix it myself.
All I need to do to get it playing again is replace the white string saddle. It is completely chewed up and demolished by whoever tossed it. the string grooves are gone, and there is 0 heighth to raise the strings up. So im thinking all i need to do is get the old white plastic string saddle out, and replace it with a new one, then add the string pegs in the empty holes.
My question is, how do i get the old saddle out without ruining the guitar? It looks to be glued in.
can i just drip some disolvent of some type in there and just lift it out??
Any special things i should be cautious of??
thanks for any help you can give.
