Saddle Rider Research Collective

The Saddle Rider Research Collective features collaborative designs that merge tradition with some of the latest developments in acoustics and stringed instrument building technique. The Collective’s mission is to offer building blocks with which musicians and luthiers can experiment, enriching our artistic community and the 21st century renaissance of luthiery.

Saddle Rider has the world’s broadest selection of endpin tips as well as bass bridge adjusters, customizable endpin and tailpiece parts, free Creative Commons open-source 3D printable designs, and more. We have recently established a partnership with Bambu Labs which allows us to offer their top-quality 3D printers in custom packages catering to luthiers and tech-curious musicians.

Coming in 2027, check out our subscription plans that will include a Bambu 3D printer, personal on-call technical support, and online small group workshops for all levels so everyone can discover their “inner inventor.” 2027 subscription plans will focus on 3D printed stringed instrument bridges.
