WHY CHANGE YOUR SADDLE?
A guitar saddle is designed to transfer the vibrations through the bridge into the top wood of the guitar. This quick and simple upgrade will have an amazing affect on your instruments tone, harmonic content, and playability.
Compensated saddles improve the playability by correctly setting each strings intonation to help produce the best tone and performance possible. Graph Tech produces a wide range of fully compensated, partially compensated and saddle blanks and slabs.
TUSQ produces more harmonics in the mid and upper range of the guitars. TUSQ nuts, saddles and bridge pins have harmonically rich tone, without the inconsistency found in ivory, bone or other natural materials. Bone and Ivory have hard and soft spots (grain) throughout each piece, hampering consistent transfer of vibrations to the guitar top. TUSQ has been designed to transfer the right frequencies more efficiently from the strings to the guitars body.
WHAT IS AVAILABLE?
Compensated saddles: almost all of the work is done, all that is needed is final fit or length, height and thickness.
Saddle blanks: Saddle blanks have some shaping done but some shaping will need to be done as well as final fit for length, height and thickness
Saddle slabs: Saddle slabs are simply a block of material that can be used to make the entire saddle (or anything else) from scratch.
The PQ-9000-00 is a blank TUSQ acoustic saddle with a slight radius on top. It is a great option for someone who wants to custom shape a new saddle. A lot of the work is already done for you.
