Well I finally did it. I got a new nut with 1.496 string spacing and made a slotted saddle with 2.25 spacing. The Entourage Concert has a neck width of 1.726 so this left me just shy of the recommended 1/8 from the string center to the edge of the fretboard;
Next I made a bone slotted saddle from a blank increasing the string spacing;
For me, this makes the guitar just perfect leaving 3/32 outside the strings and increasing playability. Intonation is still very good, in the slots I copied the bevelling of the original saddle.
While I was at it, I added a Martin OM pickguard and some Tusq pins that I had sitting around. Now I just love this new guitar!
