My Purple quilt Carvin DC 127 has a factory set of Graphtec saddles. I notice that 2 are cracked where the intonation screw is and also the guitar lacks sustain and sounds duller than my other Carvins.
She is a maple neck through alder body wings with the Quilt top but sounds much duller and lacks the sustain of my other similar Carvins. Guitar plays great and is stunning to look at but just lacks something in harmonics and sustain. I'm wondering if those saddles are a major factor in this? Have to replace at least 2 so?? Anybody have any experience with the graphtec full graphite saddles? These were an option from Carvin so are likely the originals but are the first of these I have owned.
