I thought the guy who owned HMS was involved with Pono, or his family was at least. Hm. It seems they would've at least given you a lead. Maybe try a different person at HMS?
If you do your own work, you may just have to order a saddle blank and make a new one from it...or pay someone to do it if you can't find one elsewhere.
Exactly. It's an important point to be made.
It saves a lot of work though if you can find something that already has the right specs to rough fit your instrument before fine tuning height and such.
Thanks for the tips. I have customized from scratch - not a biggie, but as said, easier if you have the originals actually used on Ponos. I'll follow all tips.
Stew-mac and LLMI have no uke saddles at all but in each case you can buy one bridge with a saddle. The llmi one is too narrow for the slot so I can buy a bridge and saddle from Stewmac and cuts it down. Disappointing and a little surprising.

You can email HMS staff direct. All their email addresses are on the web site. The person I emailed has always been the one to answer, including Andrew. Joel is the set-up guy and if anybody knows he will. In my experience they have incredible customer service.
