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.

    Surprising results

    I had to replace the saddle on my Breedlove and Graphtech was the only company I could find that sold a compatible saddle. Once it was professionally installed, the guitar surprisingly sounds much better! It seems to have more projection and sustain. More importantly, the balance across the strings is noticeably even with no muted or dull strings. I am rather surprised at this result and very happy with the saddle. I highly recommended this upgrade to the stock saddles!

    Thanks Graham! That's awesome to hear about your Breedlove - the TUSQ really does make a difference in projection and sustain. Great choice going with the compensated version too, it really helps with that string-to-string balance you noticed. Enjoy your music! Dave D

    Good, But

    The saddle is fine and I've used several Tusq products on my instruments. In this case, I mistook what the compensation profile actually looked like. It would help to have better photos of both sides of the product. A diagram with the dimensions would also be very helpful.

    Thanks.
