What are the String Saver and TUSQ Materials in Saddles?

String Saver Saddles

String Saver saddles are made with a unique combination of materials made to enhance tone and dramatically reduce string breakage. Each saddle is permanently lubricated.

Lubrication formula 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.

Our patented String Saver Originals are made entirely of our String Saver material and give you a very balanced tone across the spectrum. People who were breaking one or two strings a night have contacted us after using String Savers and are amazed that they go weeks and months without breaking a string!

String Saver Classics are made with an extremely high quality steel saddle with our patented String Saver material inserted in the string ramp. String Saver Classics preserve the classic look of a metal saddles while freeing you from the problem of breaking strings.

TUSQ Saddles

TUSQ Saddles have a rich tone without the inconsistency found in ivory, bone, and other natural materials. Bone and ivory have hard and soft spots (grain) throughout each piece, hampering the consistent transfer of vibrations to the guitar top. TUSQ saddles are designed to transfer the right frequencies more efficiently from the string to the guitar body.

    Stock Strat saddle screws gouging the palm of my hand! Ouch!

    The cure for open wounds on my palm. The stock saddle screws on my Blacktop Stratocaster were continuously irritating the palm of my picking/strumming hand. Last jam blood was spilled and that was the last straw. I have bought and used String Saver Saddles on two other instruments, one is a Ibanez Jet King II with a Gibson style bridge that broke strings - fixed that issue completely. The second was a Deluxe Powerhouse Strat that broke strings - fixed that as well. The String Savers were installed on these instruments many years ago and two things stand out. Little or no string breakage (strings "age out" before breaking) and tuning stability.... rock solid, no "drift". Also - and maybe more subjective - bending seems easier. I am sure that the String Saver Saddles that I just installed on my Blacktop Stratocaster will yield the same positive results. Highly recommended!

    Good Engineering

    My vintage Strat saddles got really rusty over the years. Also i had many strings breaking due to sharp edges that came over the years.

    I think this product will not cause these problems (stainless and a dedicated little nut in which the string can properly sit). Makes total sense to me.

    It looks really nice on my guitar too.

    String saver classics

    Great product. I replaced the orginal saddles on my 2022 Telecaster with these, and they hugely improved the touch and playability.

    Thanks,
