Hi!

I have Graph Tech TUSQ saddle currently installed on my MOB-47 but it's a bit short in length for the slot.

I checked the Stew Mac site and they're selling TUSQ ivory and bone saddles with styles for Taylor and Martin only. I bet will not fit on Ovation perfectly.

Oh...I forgot to mention that I want a pre-shaped saddle and not a blank one.

Get the real bone, pre-made, compensated Saddles and Nuts HERE!

If you need to replace the pick-up too, get one of These!
They will plug right into the Ovation preamp.
(If you have a passive system on the Applause you may have to splice)

Ovation slim saddles are a bit longer than everybody else's...
So you gotta go by the length, not the Model guitar they say it is for.
I bought a Tusq saddle that said it was 'for Ovation'... It Ain't. It is short, lengthwise.
I am not sure about that exact model of saddle and nut that I linked you to...
But I bought an 8-pack from these guys cuz I needed a nut.
I later used a bone saddle on my CK047... It greatly improved the acoustic tone of that guitar.
But the saddle was still an 1/8" too short.
It don't look perfect, but it works and sounds Great.

Hi!

Will the nut and saddle fit perfectly (in terms of saddle length) on my MOB-47?

The pick-up is fine. Just replaced it with Piezo. Applause guitar has no pick-up.

Thanks!

I received a black saddle for my MOB from the MotherShip.

Uh... No!

But they have other sizes so you could shop around.

But like Iffy sez, Call the MotherShip! :D
