Description:
What we have here is…

A genuine Graphtech Tusq acoustic guitar saddle. I buy them in Bulk so they are NOT in a retail blister pack.
We use these in our workshop but get asked for them all the time so thought I would sell them!

This is the type of Saddle that are used on a few varieties of guitars however it is pre-lowered to give your guitar a much LOWER string height (action). The standard saddle that y0u get with many Martin and Taylor guitars is around 10.5 to 12mm high.

NOTE – can be quite easy to fit, you may need to still file the bottom edge down to get the string height you want so that will take a bit of care but otherwise it’s pretty straight forward.
Make a note of the measurements, other saddles are available

More info from Graphtech:
TUSQ delivers the optimum frequencies from the strings to the guitar top, producing richer and fuller tone.
Guitar makers and players agree…acoustic guitars come alive with TUSQ man-made ivory. TUSQ is simply more efficient at transferring vibrations to your guitar top, resulting in big open lows and clear bell like highs.??

Bone and Ivory Nut and saddles have one inherent problem – they’re made from organic materials, and therefore have inconsistent soft or dead spots because of their natural grain. TUSQ Nut, 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.

Measurements
Length – 70.8mm

Note: All Graph Tech Nut and saddles are slightly long and wide to ensure extra room to achieve a perfect fit for your guitar. This extra material can easily be removed with fine grit sandpaper.

NOTE: Possible expert fitting recommended.
