I went to Guitar Center yesterday and bought a new saddle for my guitar. The one near the bridge. However, when I put it in, it slides around a lot. It's not as thick, or as long as the previous. Did he give me the wrong saddle? I really don't want to go back today, seeing as it far away.
Could I get away with this saddle for now because the strings would just hold it in place?
I would bring it back. Also bring the guitar with you so you can find one that's the correct thickness. It's true that the loose saddle "works" as long as the strings are holding it in, but it isn't giving you the best performance. The saddle is vital in transferring the vibrations of the strings to the guitars top. A loose saddle won't transfer the sound as well. You can potentially lose tone or volume. If it can lean forward or back, you may have problems with intonation...and of course there's the obvious problem of it falling out if you remove the strings. Since it's also not as long as the old one, your string spacing may be different...another potential intonation issue.
It's very rare for a saddle to simply slip in without some modifications. I don't know what was wrong with your old one, but the best thing to do is get a blank and use your old saddle as a template to shape the new one.
