A moment in Philmusic.com's History: The site domain was registered in December 1996. We are at most, probably one of the longest running Philippine websites around!
an American luthier told me that the barrel-type saddles are a lot harder to intonate than modern saddles. the barrel-type saddles have vintage mojo though, so if you're a traditionalist then go for the vintage type, or if you want something newer, go for the modern bridge style. when set up properly, both types are very stable so i think it's more about aesthetics. but enter Callaham, KTS Titanium saddles, etc.. this won't stop! hehehe
