GRAPHTECH PQ-9272-C0 TUSQ Saddle for Acoustic Guitar White

This is the second Tusq product I've used on my guitars. The first was a nut that I replaced on a Les Paul so that I could get rid of fret buzz. On this Washburn W66SCE, I had taken the old saddle down significantly to make the guitar more playable when I first purchased it. I took the saddle down about 1/16th inch too far, so I was getting some fret buzz on the 6th string 1st through 5th fret. After dealing with that for a few months, I decided to replace the saddle entirely with this Tusq Saddle. The reputation of Tusq nuts and saddles is very good and has been for quite some time now. I was expecting to need to take the saddle height down some, and had my tools set-up to do so, when I put the saddle in to see how far down I would have to take it to achieve a balanced string height for my playing style. So I dropped it in, tuned up and low and behold, the saddle is PERFECT. It doesn't need to be sanded or formed at all! This rarely happens to I was inclined to write a review on this amazing product, not just due to the exact fitment for my Washburn W66SCE (a incredibly underrated gem of a guitar by the way, check out the specs on the Washburn site when you have a minute) but also because of the sweet, sweet tone and sustain produced after ditching the old saddle and installing this one. This isn't a snake oil product. This is something pretty spectacular. I'm sure that anyone who has already gone down this road will brush this off as no big deal since they've probably known this for several years now. But for the noobs and non-believers, I have to say that this is something that raises the tonality and quality of your guitar up a notch and it immediately shows in the sustain, chime and harmonics that your guitar will produce if the saddle was a weak spot in your setup, as mine was. Why Washburn doesn't suck it up and put these in right from the get-go is beyond me, but they really should. It would put the guitar in another class and conversation with some of the bigger players in the game and solidify Washburns current spot in this price point, as the guitar to have. This is the gap filler between Martin and Taylors low-mid end guitars and upper end guitars. That is, as long as you have something a little special in it, like an exceptional saddle for instance. But I digress and I'm off track here a bit. In summation, I strongly suggest pulling the existing saddle out of said guitar and replacing it with this Tusq model. This small investment, is the super smooth, best tasting frosting you've ever had on the proverbial guitar cake.

I had a little string buzz. After checking with a razor blade it was pretty obvious it was a high fret. I'll get around to filing ,crowning and repolishing it eventually but since the bridge saddle had noticeable filing on the top string side i decided to start there. I have a guild 240ce that was supposed to been brand new when i bought it.. but probably not..right. anyway long story just to say it fit perfect with no modifications and the guitar sounds great great great! Needless to say it works like the other reviews say..my notes ring more than ever..and no string buzz anymore. Apparently someone filed the old one down here and there which probably didnt help. Not to say its wrong to file these..and admittedly i do have a high fret..but i think the action was way too low from the get go. Its perfect where the action/spacing is now. This guitar has an electric pick up strip under the saddle that worked before but i would notice the D string was barely audible before i put this new saddle in. Its pretty even with the sound as the other strings now. Just some fyi..in case others are having similar issues. Id recommend this item absolutely .

Quality upgrade saddle and a lot more consistant tone than cattle bone...'Very Nice!!

This replacement saddle, in the bridge slot (second photo) should hold up much better than the old junky one (just to the left of the new one), and sounds amazing! It is the perfect size and truly fit like a glove. I pushed it into the bridge-slot with finger pressure, and it stayed in place even when the guitar was turned upside down. I love Graphtech Tusq for acoustic saddles and guitar nuts for both acoustic and electric guitars. A great value for such a quality made product, and a breeze to install!

This was almost a perfect fit for my Fender Paramount PM-1 Limited Adirondack Spruce Dreadnought acoustic/electric guitar. It was just a tiny bit too long, but easy enough to sand down to fit. Fit nice and snug. Better than my original bone saddle. The difference is night and day. Tone, sustain & intonation are all greatly improved. Just make sure you get the right type & size for your guitar. After installing and tuning up, I played the guitar every day for over a week and did not have to touch the tuners. My guitar has always been very good at holding tune, usually strings just go a tiny bit flat after a while, but the Tusq keeps it locked in. Sustain and tone are remarkably improved as well. Loved it so much I went Tusq everywhere I could. Paired with a new Tusq nut & bridge pins, your guitar will sound and play so much better.

I bought this to replace the bridge on my Fender Tim Armstrong Signature acoustic. The height was identical to the original bridge, and it only required a small amount of sanding to fit in the saddle. This is definitely a better bridge than what the guitar came with from the factory.

Got what I wanted, amazing quality and good delivery, I got it a day before the estimate.

Fits my Alvarez MD60 very well. Had to sand the thickness down a little bit to fit the slot. Height is just right as is. Fixed some intonation issues, and buzzing from a poor set up done by sweetwater (they sanded the saddle down too far and installed a partial shim). Also made my tone more consistent. Overall very happy with my purchase.

The Tusq saddle was pretty much a drop in replacement for my Fender acoustic guitar, model number DG-22SCE EBONY NAT. Only minor sanding was required to install the new saddle. The new saddled improved overall sound of my guitar noticeably. I would recommend this item for anyone looking for an affordable way to enhance the tone of your guitar.

Super Stegeinlage müsste noch etwas nachgearbeitet werden da sie etwas zu dick war aber ansonsten echt super. Kaufe sie jetzt schon zum 2ten mal:)

Exact saddle replacement, once the correct one was sent

Suono migliore ed armonici enfatizzati da questa sella, che tuttavia andrebbe migliorata nella parte superiore appiattendo i vertici che altrimenti non permettono di avere una perfetta intonazione
