If
you have an acoustic or vintage guitar, you owe it to yourself to hear
the difference a TUSQ® nut, saddle and bridge pins make. Compared to
standard materials such as bone, micarta or corian, you'll hear more
harmonics with every note you play when you use TUSQ on your guitar.
TUSQ
has quickly become an important tone performance tool for some of the
world's most renowned guitar manufacturers, luthiers and playing
professionals. TUSQ nuts and saddles have rich tone and sustain,
without the inconsistency found in ivory, bone and other natural
materials. Bone and ivory have hard and soft spots (grain) throughout
each piece, hampering consistent transfer of vibrations to the guitar
top. TUSQ nuts, saddles and bridge pins are designed to transfer the
right frequencies more efficiently from the string to the guitar
body.
- Rich Tone: a crystal clear bell like high end and big open low end.
- Laboratory-proven to enhance harmonic content (up to 200%)
- Engineered for maximum vibration transfer.
- Used by the world's finest guitar manufacturers.
- Consistent quality from piece to piece and within each piece.
- No flat or dead spots that can be found in bone or ivory.
- Easy to work with - can be filed and sanded; will not chip or flake
Graph Tech™ TUSQ saddles are available on our site for Vintage and Import style Strat bridges, Wilkinson VS100 and PRS. Feel free to ask if you need saddles for a guitar you don't see listed.
String Saver saddles are made with a unique combination of materials made to enhance tone and dramatically reduce string breakage.
How do they work?
A string resting on a metal saddle binds and locks the string in place.
As the string vibrates, it stresses the string on a very specific point
producing metal fatigue and then string breakage. Each String Saver
saddle is impregnated with Teflon, the slipperiest substance on earth.
The Teflon in String Savers eases the grip between the saddle and
string spreading the stress over a greater portion of the string just
enough to drastically reduce string breakage. Teflon is 500% more
slippery than graphite and is impregnated throughout the String Saver
material, so its lubricating properties will never wear out. For
string breakage reduction the difference is dramatic. Strings that
last and last, no matter how hard you play...we guarantee it!
What do they sound like? Metal saddles
have a pronounced 2 KHz treble spike that dominates the tonal spectrum.
String Saver Originals have a more balanced tone with sizzling highs,
full mids, and big open lows. You will also notice an increase in
sustain by up to 25% over brass saddles and 15% over steel.
· Reduces string breakage
· Increases sustain
· Improves midrange depth
· Super lubricating
· Improves tuning
· Corrosion resistant
String Saver Originals are made
entirely of our String Saver material and as described above will give
you a more balanced tone than steel saddles. On first listen, some
people believe that the top end has gone away. However, once your ears
get used to the new sound, you'll start to hear all the added harmonic
content that String Saver saddles reveal. All that's missing is the
2khz spike, but what's added opens up a whole new world of sonic
possibilities! Available for Strat, Tele, Floyd Rose, PRS, Wilkinson,
Tune-O-Matic bridges, Bass, and even Acoustics.
