Graph Tech's TUSQ Acoustic Saddle is designed to enhance your acoustic or vintage guitar's tone. Experience crystal clear bell-like highs, big open lows, and increased sustain. TUSQ transfers string frequencies more efficiently to the guitar body, proven to boost harmonic sustain. It offers superior sound and appearance compared to synthetics like Micarta and Corian, with an exotic ivory-like look achieved through high heat and pressure. Many leading guitar manufacturers like Martin, Taylor, and Gibson use TUSQ for its rich tone and consistent sustain, outperforming natural materials like bone and ivory which have inconsistent grain and density.
