  Neck Off Center on Resonator Tricone

  Posted by Elaine S Hartstein Hartstein Guitars on October 29, 2023 at 1:59 pm

  I recently installed a new “Billet T-Bridge” on a Mule tricone resonator guitar. The neck center line on this instrument is pointing 9/32″ toward the treble side of the end pin. This means the saddle has to be as far to the treble side as possible so that the strings line up on the neck. This makes the angle of the treble strings coming out of the tailpiece more splayed than the bass strings.

  The guitar is coming back, as the player says the slot for the high E string on the saddle is now “gone”. I assume the maple saddle chipped, as the tension pushes not only down but over toward the bass side.

  I asked Mule this, but got no response:

  Is there a reason for the neck to be off center?
