Ibanez Includes Black TUSQ XL on Prestige Line of Guitars and Basses (April 8, 2010)


Ibanez Includes Black TUSQ XL for Prestige Line of Guitars


DELTA, B.C., April 8, 2010 – Graph Tech Guitar Labs, the world’s largest guitar nut and saddle manufacturer is excited to announce that Ibanez’s line of Prestige guitars and basses feature Graph Tech’s Black TUSQ XL nuts.

There are three principles behind the Ibanez Prestige line, precision, performance and playability.  Combining high tech manufacturing techniques with old world craftsmanship, true innovation in design and construction and the incorporation of ideas and suggestions from musicians from around the world are cornerstones of the Prestige production process.

“Quality is extremely important to Ibanez and we recognize that the nut is one of the important points for the overall tone of the instrument.  Black TUSQ XL is made of an especially highly resonant material, adding a finishing touch to a guitar that is everything you’ve ever dreamed of in a guitar or bass,” says Ozzy Ozawa, Ibanez.

Black TUSQ XL is designed to boost guitar tone and performance, eradicate string binding and improve tuning stability.  Precision engineered and constructed of a specially formulated material to bring out the hidden harmonics and richness in every note, Black TUSQ XL nuts are permanently lubricated with Teflon®, which is 500 times more slippery than graphite.

“Ibanez is well known in the industry for constructing quality instruments with original advancements in design.  Being synonymous with innovation is something Graph Tech also strives for so we are especially proud that Ibanez values the superior tone and quality of our Black TUSQ nuts on their high end guitars and basses,” says Dave Dunwoodie, President, Graph Tech.   

Black TUSQ XL nuts can be found on the following Ibanez Prestige line of guitars and basses:
Guitars - FR Prestige, SV Prestige and RG Prestige
Basses - SR Prestige

Stratagé Guitars Enhances Guitar Models (April 1, 2010)


Stratagé Guitars Enhances Guitar Models with Range of Graph Tech Products

DELTA, B.C., April 1, 2010 – Graph Tech Guitar Labs, the world’s largest guitar nut and saddle manufacturer is pleased to announce that Stratagé Guitars has added TUSQ, String Saver and the ghost System to their electric and bass guitars.

“After evaluating all the viable alternatives to meet our design criteria, Graph Tech products far out performed them all both mechanically and electronically,” says Frank Aurigemma, Technical Team Leader, Stratagé Guitars.

All Stratagé MIDI ready instruments are equipped with the Graph Tech ghost System, including electronics and piezo pickups embedded in String Saver saddles. Also, all Stratagé electric and bass guitars employ a custom made bridge which uses the ghost System’s piezo-embedded String Saver saddles that integrate perfectly with the Great American Sounds Co. Active Pickup System (GASCAPS) which is standard equipment on all Stratagé guitars and basses.

The ghost saddle pickups let you get acoustic tone from your electric guitar or bass when installed with the Acousti-Phonic, or use your favorite electric guitar or bass as a MIDI controller when installed with the Hexpander MIDI Interface. As well, the encapsulating String Saver composite material dramatically reduces string breakage.

All Stratagé electric guitar and bass guitar models are made with TUSQ nuts and String Saver string retainers. Traditional bone and ivory have hard and soft spots (grain) throughout each piece, hampering consistent transfer of vibrations to the guitar top, but TUSQ nuts and saddles have rich tone and sustain, without the inconsistency found in ivory, bone and other natural materials. String Saver saddles and string trees help keep strings in tune and dramatically reduce string breakage.

“Graph Tech’s consistent quality products most positively contributed to our design team meeting and exceeding the mandated design goals. Graph Tech is instrumental in providing enabling technologies that make Stratagé Guitars the best sonically performing instruments on the planet,” says Aurigemma.

“Stratagé Guitars is passionate about creating unique products with fine craftsmanship to maximize performance. The opportunity to work together to create better instruments has been enriching and insightful for two companies that rely heavily on innovation to enhance player performance,” says Dave Dunwoodie, President, Graph Tech.

About Stratagé Guitars
Inspired by well-recognized, traditional manufacturers like Gibson* and Fender* as well as the relative new comers Ibanez*, PRS (Paul Reed Smith)*, ESP*, and Dean*, Stratagé Guitars blends the traditional discipline of electric guitar making with emerging technologies to ultimately provide the planet’s best-in-class electric guitars. It is to this end we strive.

Innovative New ResoMax NVS Bridge System increases Harmonics (January 14, 2010)


Innovative New ResoMax NVS Bridge System increases Harmonics, Saves Strings while Simplifying Restringing


DELTA, B.C.; January 14, 2010 – Graph Tech Guitar Labs, the world’s largest manufacturer of guitar nuts and saddles is very excited to announce the release of the new ResoMax NVS Harmonic Bridge System.

The ResoMax NVS Harmonic Bridge System is made of a proprietary, high strength, lightweight ResoMax alloy designed to maximize harmonic content and richness in every note played.  Equipped with U.L.F (Ultra Low Friction) saddles and an AutoLock™ locking feature, it is the biggest improvement in tone and performance for the tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece since its inception in the 1950’s.

Exclusive to the ResoMax NVS System, AutoLock™ (International patents pending) magnetically secures the bridge and tailpiece at all times making restring the guitar simple and quick, without any tools to use or lose and no threads to strip.  When the strings are in place and tuned, there is over 200lbs of downward pressure to ensure a rock solid connection of the bridge to the guitar body.

U.L.F saddles are pre-loaded in the ResoMax NVS bridge and engineered with the same harmonically rich ResoMax alloy.  Bonded with an ultra low friction, extremely hard String Saver™ formula, the saddles dramatically reduces string breakage while retaining the 2 KHz bite of metal.

“We are committed to and pride ourselves on always having a finger on the pulse of consumers, with the ability to change quickly in response.  By offering an innovative bridge system, in a number of different options, we are making it incredibly easy for anyone to significantly improve and enhance their guitar’s performance,” says Dave Dunwoodie, President of Graph Tech Guitar Labs.

As an alternative, Graph Tech is also introducing the ResoMax NV1 and ResoMax NV2 system which is made of the same harmonically rich alloy material.  ResoMax NV1 is equipped with ResoMax saddles and ResoMax NV2 is equipped with world renowned String Saver saddles.  The ResoMax NVt tailpiece is available in coordinating finishes and completes the beautiful esthetics and harmonic enriching qualities of the ResoMax NV system.

i can't access the link on masterchoxsters sig, anyway, i have an aria pro 2 inazuma and i don't like its bridge and i think i'll buy a replacement and was looking to low profile trems. But then i saw this thread and i tried to look for the graphtec site, i found the LB63 Bridge with String Saver Classic Saddles, i was wondering if it is with the same measurements with my current bridge. Since i can't find any diagrams on the act3 bridges measurement, i'm lost. could someone point me to a right direction. and oh, how much is it? thanks in advance

How to Measure your Guitar Nut


1. Measure the overall length of your existing nut.  Be as accurate as you can by using a ruler, calipers or a tape measure. Record this dimension.



2. Measure the overall width of your existing nut. Be as accurate as you can by using a ruler, calipers or a tape measure. Record this dimension.



3. Measure the E to E spacing of your existing nut, from the center of the low E slot to the center of the high E slot. Be as accurate as you can by using a ruler, calipers or a tape measure. Record this dimension.



4. Measure the overall height of your existing nut from the bottom to the highest point. Be as accurate as you can by using a ruler, calipers or a tape measure. Record this dimension.



5. Use the dimensions for your E to E spacing to find the closest match to a Graph Tech nut. You want the E to E spacing to be as close to your without going over (slightly smaller will work). All other dimensions can be slightly oversized as you can sand down the overall length, width and height with some fine grit sandpaper


Keep on Rockin'!

After seeing the Graphtech product line, one specific item immediately got my attention; the Supercharger Acoustic Kit for acoustic guitar. Upon reading the product description from the Graphtech website, I know I have to get one for my acoustic guitar.



The kit contains 6 lightweight bridge pins, 1 pre-measured acoustic saddle, 1 Graphtech pick, 2 sanding papers (rough & fine) and a printed installation guide. Upon inspection of the saddle and my guitar's saddle slot (my guitar is a SX dreadnought with a stock bone saddle), the saddle needs an adjustment/reduction on the saddle's length and a little lessening on the height and width. Since the installation guide was simple and comprehensive, I did the adjustment myself using the sanding papers, always checking from time to time if I have the desired dimension of the saddle. Installing was quite easy since acoustic guitar saddle can be removed by a long nose and the bridge pins fits perfectly.

Using the same strings, which is quite a few months old on my guitar, i played before and after installation to make a more accurate description on the differences the Graphtech kit makes.
And as expected, It deliver results.

- Enhanced Harmonics. Upon making a chord, you will definitely hear a more harmonic feel, the strings sounds more alive if stroke together for a chord
- Sustain. Not only does it increases the sustain, but how the sustain sounds. A livelier unsuppressed string vibration since the strings can move more freely because of the lightweight bridge pins and a better saddle
- Increase high and low frequencies . The bass strings has more low end mojo and the treble strings has more shiny highs. You just have to get it and hear it to believe it.
- Since the saddle's height can be adjusted, I was able to lower the profile of my strings and make my guitar more playable. In addition that better tone really contributes to improved playing. 

I own this guitar for 5 years and after the installing the supercharger kit, I think this guitar can deliver tone and acoustic response comparable to other guitars even those in the higher brand range.
Overall, Graphtech Supercharger Acoustic Kit is definitely the upgrade if you are looking to enhance the sound/tone of your acoustic guitar and release its hidden potential.

question sir,
may acousti-phonic board po ba na pang 7 strings?
or kaylangan talaga dalawa yung acousti-phonic board para magamit din yung pang 7th string
sa acoustic sound?
thanks

hi haxo55...

you just need the ff for either 6 or 7-string guitars to be able to use the ghost system:

Ghost saddle pickups - one set
Acousti-phonic for guitar - one kit

Since you need it for a 7-string guitar, here are my recommended items:

7-string Ghost loaded saddles:
http://graphtech.com/product-42-2/  <--- assuming this saddle is the size you need

Acousti-phonic for guitar:
http://www.graphtech.com/product-8-2/

and your done!

but this is if you want your acoustic sound to come from within your guitar...

you can also do it this way...

7-string Ghost loaded saddles:
http://graphtech.com/product-42-2/  <--- assuming this saddle is the size you need

Passive volume kit:
http://www.graphtech.com/product-10-2/

this is cheaper but the signal will be a bit harsh... so you'll need further processing externally... but the kit includes components which can prevent the loss of high frequencies... so it still works...

TUSQ XL Nuts On Nashguitar

TUSQ XL Nuts On All New Nashguitar Guitars and Basses

DELTA, B.C., April 15, 2010 – Graph Tech Guitar Labs, the world’s largest guitar nut and saddle manufacturer is thrilled to announce that Nash Guitars has equipped all of their new guitar and bass models with our new TUSQ XL nuts.

Nashguitars does not make new looking guitars.  Their standard levels of aging include light, medium, heavy and extra heavy.  As the largest independent maker of aged guitars in the industry, they are successful because of their intimate knowledge of guitars and guitar making.  All employees are guitar players and it is their mandate not to ship a guitar or bass that they would not want to own or play.

“We have installed Graph Tech nuts on thousands of guitars and basses as they are easy to install, easy to adjust, sound great and fight "Slack Storage" and "String Binding," the two biggest causes of tuning issues.  When we were told about the new TUSQ XL nut it was a no-brainer as the better lubrication is a huge plus. Hard to imagine someone improving a perfect product, but Graph Tech did,” says Bill Nash, President, Nashguitars.

TUSQ XL is designed to boost guitar tone and performance. This precision engineered nut is made with a specially formulated material which couples the strings' vibrations to the neck and brings out the hidden harmonics and richness in every note. It is based on the highly resonant TUSQ man made ivory, but is impregnated with Teflon to improve the tuning performance of the guitar.

“Working with Graph Tech has been a breeze, especially since I have yet to get shipped a defective nut.  It is one of the few components I do not have to ever worry about,” says Bill.

“Specialized guitar makers have a profound understanding of tone and pay particular attention to the small details like tuning issues, that affect guitar players because they are guitar players.  TUSQ XL was created at the demand of companies like Nashguitars who build guitars for enhanced performance, playability and a specific vintage style,” says Dave Dunwoodie, President, Graph Tech.
 
About Nashguitars
Nashguitars was started in 2001. Bill Nash, the one most to blame was raised in Los Angeles in and around the music industry. Played in bands, used to make his own guitars, customize things, ruin things and did much of what you would imagine goes on it the formative years of a someday guitar builder, blah, blah, boring. At the writing of this text, the company has grown to include two facilities, 8 or 9 employees and is truly a team effort. www.nashguitars.com
