There! He fixed it!

No arguments about string spacing here...In truth, a lot of import acoustics feature styrene saddles (same material as the ruler). The notches in the "saddle" are unnecessary; it should be radiused somewhat, depending upon the crown radius of the fretboard.

Don't tell me he has wing bolts for tuning pegs, now...

That looks like a chunk of oak.

It's just that I've never seen a bridge plate made out of wood that looks to be oak before.
