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.

    Great Sound

    This saddle worked well in my guitar even though I really ordered the wrong one. The radius on this one didn't match my guitar but that is my fault. It wasn't a big problem to sand it to make it match. You just need to do it before you start sanding the bottom to get the string height where you want it. I like that it is a little oversized so you can make it fit the slot perfectly. I replaced a bone saddle with this one and it made this kind of dark sounding cedar top guitar sound brighter and the clarity of the tone is better.

    I'd say it has a brighter tone than most saddle pieces

    Excellent sound

    Well I recently bought a $100 sigma guitar, an early 80s model if that matters. Low and behold it sounded great, way better than my '78 sigma dr28 that was just fitted with a bone saddle and nut. After a little inspecting, I saw the tusq logo on the saddle. So I bought them for all my acoustics.
