Saddles with Short Panels

A notable theme this year have been requests for shorter panels than standard. A decision to be taken with care(!) but it can be done! Here is a good example. It is a 16 1/2″ Suzannah made with 16″ panels. For comparison, included are photos of a standard 16 1/2″ Suzannah with 16 1/2″ panels.
