The Graph Tech TUSQ Compensated Acoustic Saddle is a precision-engineered replacement designed to enhance tone, sustain, and intonation in steel-string acoustic guitars. Manufactured from Graph Tech’s proprietary TUSQ material, this saddle delivers consistent performance and balanced frequency response across all strings.
The compensated design helps improve intonation accuracy, particularly in the higher register, while maintaining clear note separation and harmonic detail. Unlike natural bone, TUSQ is engineered for uniform density, ensuring predictable tonal results and reliable transfer of string energy to the soundboard.
Measuring 2-7/8 inches in length and 1/8 inch in thickness, this saddle is sized for many common acoustic guitar bridges and can be sanded or shaped for precise height adjustment during installation. Ideal for upgrades, repairs, or restorations, this saddle offers a noticeable improvement in clarity and sustain without altering the character of the instrument.
