The 8501 model is the perfect option to upgrade or replace the existing saddles on your Gibson Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge dated after 2000.
It will also fit in a TonePros TP6 bridge and any Tune-O-Matic bridges marked PW on the underside.
These are the saddles we load into our ResoMax NV2 Bridges and bridges with API stamped on the bottom!
They are a drop-in replacement set to make for an easy install.
Please note: engineered for maximum vibration transfer, TUSQ saddles for electric guitars will add rich bell-like highs and big open lows. Switching to TUSQ Tune-O-Matic saddles will add some "spank" to your tone.

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.
