: Can someone explain the saddles on the guitar to me and also why they sometimes extend to various odd lengths?
Intonation. The sadles are used to adjust the intonation. When you tune your instrument it should also be in tune when you play the same string at the 12th fret or the harmonic note on the 12th fret. If the string is sharp or flat when you play a tuned string at the 12th fret you use the saddle to extend or shorten the string length. You should take the guitar to a good repairman if you think your guitar is out of intonation. The worst is usually the 3rd or G string around the twelth fret.
