I have one that appears to be the same design; can't remember from where I purchased it; it works fine. jack |

They are easy to make so i made my own out of plywood.It works great and didn't cost anything. |

I've got a similar jig I got from Stew-mac years ago. I use it if I have to route a slot with the bridge on a guitar, or for cleaning up the bottom of the slot for a UST. I use a homemade jig similar to Marks for new construction. |

I use one similar to that, but shop made, all the time, its great. Mine is made of wood, and i don't find the lack of transparency to be much of a hindrance at all. If you are doing repairs, you gotta have one. I also prefer to rout the saddle slot after gluing the bridge on, mostly because it is nice to put the saddle slot exactly where you want it, and partly because i am used to doing it that way. |

I use that fixture on my builds. It locates the saddle exactly where I want it. |

I use one that I got from Stew Mac and think it works very well. Of course it's also the only way I have ever done it. |
