ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
Kenny Wayne Shepherd

This month, Love Your Guitar is focusing on the scourge of broken strings, and power-blues guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd seemed the perfect choice to represent both the problem and the solution. A ferocious player, Shepherd is far from gentle when launching his fire-breathing blues licks, and he needs something watching his "6"—such as our String Saver Saddles.

Game Changing MODS
Why 99% of strings break at the saddle

It’s never a good time to break a string. Why do strings break? In a nutshell… metal fatigue. Metal strings forced against a metal saddle are sticky and locks the string into position at a very specific point… kind of like putting a coat hanger wire into a vice…. Keep wiggling the coat hanger wire back and forth and it will break pretty quickly, loosen the vice a bit, and that wire will last and last. Patented String Saver Saddles are impregnated with PTFE, the world's slipperiest substance. It gives the string a slight bit of play at the witness point, drastically reducing metal fatigue of strings… The result? You’ll play in the moment, without thinking about breaking a string. Watch Justin launch into a discussion on how you can beat string breakage.

"BrB," cB3

 

"I was conducting a war against string breakage," said Chris Buono of cB3.

"When I brought a Strat for an overhaul, the tech installed a Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut and replaced the saddles in the bridge system I was using at the time with String SaversNeedless to say, my life changed forever. After wrestling with locking nuts for years, I finally had a trem system that allowed the guitar to breath, I could stay in tune under the rigors of my intense whammy antics, and I wasn’t breaking strings. This would have been impossible without Graph Tech products. I’ve been a devout user ever since, and I always will be."

"Live at Blue Ocean Music Hall,"

Dan Lawson

 

"I thought I would check in with you after changing out my steel saddles to String Savers," said blues-rock phenom Dan Lawson. "During my first show with the new saddles, I couldn’t break a string if I tried. Oh, and I tried! The Graph Tech saddles seem to give my guitar more sustain and a deeper, richer body tone. I'm not sure how that could be, but that’s my review on the change. String Saver Saddles made a great guitar even better."
