String Saver Saddles

You can use string saver saddles and reduce string breakages. They’re guaranteed to decrease string breakage while giving complete body tone and an increase of 25% in sustain. The working of the metal saddles is quite simple. They lock and bind the strings in place. The vibration of the string causes metal fatigue on the string which results in breakage.

String Saver saddles are saturated with PTFE a regular lubricant which allows the strings to move enough to distribute the stress from one breaking point. This makes the string last longer. The string saver saddles are made from string saver materials and provide you with a balanced tone. Now the strings last a long time. They do not have 2K spike of a metal saddle which lets all other highs, mids, and lows go through.

TUSQ Electric Saddles

The PQ-8000 is the right upgrade or auxiliary set of saddles for a Tele style guitar. They have an intonation center and 2 1/16” string spacing. Along with the set, there is an extra set of a little longer intonation screws to be used with a Telecaster.

TUSQ costs $54.95 and provides a tone that is rich with enhanced harmonic content. When harmonics are increased you get character and richness to the tone. TUSQ saddles are ivory white in color with increased harmonic content and consistent quality. It is a string saver and not many strings will break when you use TUSQ electric saddles.
