ELECTRIC SADDLES

Metal saddles hold your strings fi rmly. Too fi rmly. Imagine tightly gripping a wire coat hanger and bending it back and forth, over and over - it snaps. Patented GRAPH TECH STRING SAVER SADDLES ease this grip. As a string moves and vibrates against a String-Saver saddle, a thin Tefl on™ fi lm is cre-ated. Tefl on eases the grip of the saddle on the string and microscopically spreads the stress over a greater portion of the string. For string breakage reduction the difference can be dramatic. Strings that last and last, no mat-ter how hard you play. String Savers have the full bodied tone and bite of vintage steel saddles with 25% more sustain than brass! Try them and you’ll see why so many of our customers say String Savers are absolutely the best guitar modifi cation they’ve ever made. Go for those wild bends, play harder and be more aggressive, dare that string to break!

“I’ve been putting String Saver saddles on guitars with string breakage prob-lems for over 10 years. Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam swears by them.”Mike Lull, Mike Lull Custom Guitars

“Thanks so much for the String Saver Saddles. I have them on my stage gui-tars and this past summer while touring with The Guess Who, I never broke one string! I like to leave my strings on indefi nitely... so Graph Tech is in my loop forever. Thanks for the great product; it’s one that’s long overdue for the axemen of the world.”Randy Bachman, The Guess Who & B.T.O

“I put String Saver saddles on every instrument I touch.”Sean Paden,Guitar Tech, Guns ‘n’ Roses.

“I’m a very aggressive guitarist, forming great gouges in my bridge, that used to break strings, big time! Every night, I’d be switching guitars in the middle of a song. Not anymore. I can’t remember the last time I busted a string on stage. Graph Tech has allowed me get into the show and leave the gear to the techs. Rock on!”Phil Comparelli, Lead Guitar, 54*40

“Thanks for the most useful replacement product for guitar ever made! Now all my guitars have (String Saver) saddles and I simply can’t forgive myself for ignoring them for so long!”Nick Fanis, Musician/Producer/Songwriter

“I love String Saver saddles to death. They make my life stress-free. No fi ling needed and the intonation is three times better than any other saddles.”Roy Kellie, Guitar Tech, Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s Band.

All tests were performed with model PS-8000-F0 String Saver Saddles using a Fender Strat guitar. Sustain tests are averaged over ten separate readings on each string. String endurance tests were performed on all six strings using Thunder Thumb pick-ing machine at 450 up and down strokes per minute. Strings used were GHS Boomer gauged .010 to .046. Steel saddle: Fender. Brass saddle: Schecter.
