Hitting the tremolo bar on his first Fender Strat (he was a Gibson man) during a guitar solo, he was immediately introduced to the problem of string binding on traditional guitar nuts. “I went to do my first ‘wang’ and went totally out of tune” Dave says. “I couldn’t use the guitar for stage work at all”. Spurred by the resurgence in popularity of tremolo guitars, the need for pencil lead in the nut slots, and his own frustration, Dave began experimenting with a variety of composite guitar nuts designed to eliminate string binding before engineering the world’s first self-lubricating nut, a formula that is 500% slipperier than graphite. More than twenty years later Graph Tech Guitar Labs has become an institution, producing some of the industry’s most innovative and reliable nuts, saddles, bridge pins, bridges and pickup systems. Through patented methods and proprietary techniques, Graph Tech has designed specific tone and performance enhancements that were once impossible to achieve. The result is an outstanding reputation for quality and rapid acceptance by guitar players. Dave’s commitment has never wavered: “I envisioned a people - and service-oriented company that can turn on a dime and can respond to our customers’ needs.” The successful introduction of totally new concepts (as opposed to “me too” products) into the guitar market have led to Graph Tech’s booming success. Graph Tech products are factory installed world wide on Carvin®, Furch®, Gibson®, Godin®, Larrivee®, Martin®, Peavey®, Raimundo®, Schecter®, Taylor®, Tom Anderson®, Warmoth®, Yamaha® Custom, and many others. What is the reaction from the players around the world? Week after week, customers write us unsolicited letters and e-mails letting us know that is the first product that they’ve ever bought that actually does what is says it would do (imagine that!). 3 “The difference that TUSQ makes is astounding. More low end, more high end, more sustain, more clarity, more punch.” - Mitch Malloy - RCA Recording Artist • Increases harmonic content up to 200% • Rich tone with a crystal clear bell-like high end and BIG open lows • Superior string vibration transfer 4 TUSQ delivers the optimum frequencies from the strings to the guitar top, producing a richer and fuller tone. TUSQ nuts are precision slotted TUSQ is highly resonant TUSQ is consistent from piece to piece without any hollow or dead spots TUSQ is environmentally friendly TUSQ files and sands easily for the perfect fit TUSQ is factory installed on Cole Clark®, Carvin®, Gibson®, Martin®, Schecter®, Taylor® & many more. Guitar makers and players agree……acoustic guitars come alive with TUSQ man-made ivory. TUSQ is simply more efficient at transferring vibration to your guitar top, resulting in big open lows and clear bell like highs. Bone and Ivory nuts and saddles have one inherent problem - they’re made from organic material, and therefore have inconsistent soft or dead spots because of their natural grain. TUSQ nuts, saddles and bridge pins are precision engineered under high pressure and heat, specifically to govern which frequencies are transferred to your guitar top (tone), and which frequencies remain in the strings (sustain). TUSQ is consistent from piece to piece, and within each piece, to offer you harmonically rich tones without the problems associated with natural materials. How does it sound? TUSQ delivers a rich tone, crystal clear bell-like high end with big open lows and a significant increase in harmonic content and harmonic sustain. Increased harmonics equals more richness and character in your tone. Its the difference between a 4 piece choir and a 12 piece choir singing every time you play a note. 5 For a full product listing: visit graphtech.com, call 604-940-5353 or email [email protected] “I just installed a set of your TUSQ bridge pins in place of the plastic originals.
