ResoMax FAQ

What are ResoMax bridges made out of?

ResoMax is made from a light proprietary alloy, equivalent to aluminum, as strong as steel. The ResoMax bridge will increase sustain and improve the tone of your guitar. We have three different bridges available, the ResoMax NVS, the ResoMax NV1 and the ResoMax NV2. The difference between them all is what saddles each bridge comes equipped with.

How will this light weight bridge benefit me?

With a light weight bridge you are opening up a passage way, linking your strings with your guitars body. Now your letting the body of your guitar provide you with your sustain and ultimately bring out all the colors and tone of your wood.

No, the magnets are small enough that they will not affect your guitars regular pickups. They are designed to secure the bridge and tailpiece to the posts.

What is the difference between NVS, NV1 and NV2?

What are the U.L.F. saddles made from?

The U.L.F (Ultra Low Friction) saddles are made from the ResoMax light weight alloy and then thermal coated with our U.L.F. coating which is extremely hard and slippery. This results in reduced string breakage, improved tuning stability and the 2KHz bit of metal saddles.

Will the U.L.F. coating wear off?

We have tested our U.L.F. saddles under numerous conditions and the coating has not worn off as of yet. Like anything in the world, it is possible so if this happens please contact us and let us know.

What's PTFE?

PTFE is a fluorocarbon polymer with slippery, not sticking properties. It can be found in both our Black TUSQ XL nuts and our String Saver saddles. PTFE is 500% slipperier than Graphite.

Will the PTFE wear off the saddles?

PTFE is impregnated throughout our saddles, so its lubricating properties will never wear out.

How will this help me reduce string breakage?

As the strings move along the U.L.F. saddle or the Sting Saver saddles, they will not bind due to the slippery nature of the saddles resulting is less stress on the strings.

What if the strings dig in to the String Saver saddles?

Since our saddles are impregnated (not coated) with PTFE, if you notice your guitar strings digging into the material or any other imperfections, you can easily take some sand paper, sand the notch or groove out and it's like working with a new saddle.
