Hey all, I'm a long time flats user making the jump back to rounds. I'm ordering a set of DR Hi-Beams tomorrow but I just thought of something. I'm using an untapered B right now and the B saddle has a large enough groove in it to nicely seat the .130 string. The E has the same saddle but the A and D have narrower grooves in their saddles. A tapered B is roughly as wide as an A at the saddle right? Do I need to get a new saddle?

Only if you experience difficulty with intonation or movement of the string on the saddle during play. Of course, you won't know this until you string it up.

Will I need a new saddle?
