The 9000 model is a great option to replace or upgrade the saddle on your acoustic guitar.

It has a radius on the top so most of the work has already been done.

This is a great option to custom shape and adds compensation.

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 product

    I needed to replace a bone saddle for my acoustic bass. It was poorly fit, loose and a little too low. The 1/8” string saver blank was perfect for the setup I needed. Slightly thicker and longer than the bridge slot. The material is easy to work with and shape with nothing but a sanding block. About ten minutes worth of work. Custom fit and great sound. Excellent product!

    Better than bone

    Drop your bone saddle on a marble tabletop, listen to the sound it makes. Compare with a Tusq saddle, you'll notice the Tusq 'rings', the bone is a dull sound. Conclusion: Tusq will conduct wider range/color of string frequencies, bone will reduce/attenuate the string frequencies.

    Excellent product

    With a little bit of sanding and polishing, it fit perfectly. Our shop uses Graphtech nuts and saddles exclusively.
