These two little saws are for making the string slots in guitar bridges just ahead of the bridge pins. The upper one is a standard tool found in hardware and hobby stores. The lower one is much thicker, and more aggressive. It's one I made by setting a small sabre saw blade into a chunk of dowel. I find it particularly useful for the bass strings.
