If you have a high quality acoustic or vintage guitar you owe it to SOUNDS SO GOOD, IT MUST BE yourself to hear the difference a TUSQ® nut and saddle will make. Compared to standard materials, you’ll hear crystal clear bell-like high end, big open lows, and a noticable increase in overall sustain. TUSQ® has quickly become an important tone performance tool for many guitar manufacturers, luthiers and playing professionals around the world. TUSQ® nuts and saddles have rich tone and sustain, without the inconsistency found in ivory, bone and 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® nuts, saddles and bridge pins are designed to transfer the right frequencies more efficiently from the string to the guitar body, resulting in delicate highs and big open lows. Acoustic guitars come alive! TUSQ® is far superior in sound and appearance to synthetics such “TUSQ is the best sounding material on the market, producing a real quality music, as Micarta™ and Corian™. The high levels of heat and pressure better than bone or ivory. We use TUSQ exclusively.” used in making TUSQ® results in its exotic ivory-like appearance. Bill Fels, The Guitar Factory.
