What are the String Saver and TUSQ Materials in 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 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.

    Perfect Replacement with Wonderful Experience

    This is the second Tusq saddle I have installed, and it was an easy installation that resulted in a much better sound from my guitar. I will not hesitate to use Tusq again.

    Purchased to replace a saddle in a J-45

    The saddle fit perfect no trimming needed, however the bevel on the top of the saddle is opposite of the original saddle from Gibson. After you replace the strings it takes a while to get it in tune. Other then that it appears to be working fine.

    Very good product

    I have a J45 and It fitted right out of the box, just a little hight and radius adjustment, I guess I would have choose another model with a different radius, but it was not a big deal. Also, I got back a balanced sound between strings because before I put a bone saddle and it has been a disaster due to the different density of the bone, the 4th and 3rd strings sounded a lot softer than the other. Now every string sounds good! Very satisfied.
