I've been having string breakage troubles with my old 93 American Strat on Vintage bent saddles. minsan wala pang isang buwan yung new set ng strings putol na lalo on hard playing. So a few questions lang for masterchox:

What exact model would fit my setup?
And bakit halos same ang price nung String Saver Saddles at nung Starter Set?

the following products may fit your guitar:

The Supercharger kit is like a package thing from Graph Tech. It's mainly a pack of pre-chosen products that can fit most guitars in specific categories. There is a possibility that just one part from the kit may fit the guitar and vice versa. Regarding the pricing, it is Graph Tech's prerogative to set their determined prices. In my opinion, we can relate this to buying a ready made cpu versus buying carefully chosen parts.

I hope my post helped...

thanks!

couldn't wait to have my guitar set-up by a luthier, so I just replaced the stock nut on my PRS SE by myself... I hope I didn't do a horrible job, lol.

I sanded the nut until there was very little excess compared to the stock nut, na feeling ko masyado mababa para sa akin yung action. I just added a little extra to the height. I used the same graphtech Black Tusq XL as sir chino. is it cut for .9's or .10's? TIA.

Some musicians may become a Yngwie Malmsteen, others maybe will become a humble Paul Gilbert.

Introducing 
A WHOLE NEW WORLD
ghost Acoustic MIDI System


Be one of the first to own the ghost Acoustic MIDI System.  With unparalleled fast tracking performance, Graph Tech tailored the ghost Modular Pick up System for nylon and steel stringed acoustic guitars, designing a system that allows acoustic guitarists to take their playability to an entirely new level.

Traditionally, MIDI pickup systems use metal saddles which kill the acoustic sound.  Graph Tech uses custom piezo crystals encapsulated in a set of patented String Saver saddles to retain the guitar’s authentic acoustic tone with the added benefit of longer string life.  Play the piano, saxophone or any instrument as well as you play the guitar because the ghost Acoustic MIDI System enables access to an orchestra of instruments and a world of virtual sounds.





Designed to integrate easily into a steel or nylon string acoustic guitar, the ghost Acoustic MIDI System will open a new world of tonal possibilities never before available to the acoustic guitarist.

 


• No metal saddles to retain a natural and authentic acoustic tone.

• Fastest, most accurate MIDI tracking available.

• Saddle pickups fit a standard 1/8" saddle slot.

• Flexible installation permits custom control layout.

• Plug-in components for rapid assembly and testing.

• Patented String Saver® saddles to dramatically reduce string breakage.

• Compatible with today’s state-of-the-art controllers such as Roland GR33, GI-20, VG99, and V Bass, Axon AX-50, AX-100, and many more.

   
Dreams of MIDI guitar have long been hindered by poor tracking, but now Graph Tech’s ghost pickup saddles and Hexpander MIDI Interface Module provide incredibly fast and accurate tracking, so your customers can even play both acoustic and MIDI/Virtual sounds simultaneously for a limitless palette of blended sounds.

ghost Acoustic/MIDI Kit for either Steel or Nylon stringed guitars can be installed for flat or radiused fingerboards by omitting or including the provided pagoda shim.  Saddles fit a 1/8” saddle slot.  Some modification of the instrument is required to install pickups and output jacks.



Set of 3 beautiful rosewood stacked knobs for acoustic/midi control, bass/treble control and the mid boost or cut/ sweep control.


VIDEO:
The ghost Acoustic MIDI System is currently factory installed on the Carvin NS1.  Watch Steve Oliver demonstrate the capabilities of the ghost Acoustic MIDI System on the Carvin NS1 guitar.
