My long overdue pics of my graphtech equipped strat!


saddles


nut and string trees


my supercharged strat!

My strat definitely plays better than before and even when I have yet to experience a string breakage I can trust my strat to hold out for me when I need it. Thanks masterchoxter!

post ko lang ulit supercharged strat ko. Sobrang solid talaga ng tone ever since I changed to graphtecs. I wanna try different hardwares on my strat but why change something when it feels right na diba?

I have this strat style guitar (Ibanez GRX40) and the tone is not that good. Now I found out about graphtech nuts and saddles and I think they're just what I need. I'm planning to order a set of saddles and a black tusq nut. Approximately, how much would it all cost, how do I order, and from whom mga sir?

Best is to check the website fot the $ price them send the link to our shippers for a quotaion. I think what you'll ge needing would be the supercharger kit if they have the nut and saddle set that would fit your guitar. Bossingboss or spankyrigor can get those for you. Good luck!

yung mga bagong tusq xl nut ngayon kailangan pa din bawasan yung height? or same spec na sya sa particular brand, lets say, para sa mga epiphone guitar.

napansin ko kasi na binabanggit sa site ng graphtech yung fender, gibson and epiphone.

Usually ang fit doon ay yung string spacing (e-to-E).. Pag kasi precut at pre-slotted, may mga allowance yan sa nut height, nut width, at nut length.. Para kung sakaling may inconsistencies sa manufacturing nung gitara, pwede mo maiset sa gusto mo yung mga parameters na yun ng nut..

So kahit bibili ka bro ng precut at pre-slotted nut, kailangan pa rin niyan ng konting work para mag fit ng maganda..

kamusta po ung saddle, mas matibay ba to sa rust at oxidation?.

Technically, the TUSQ saddles are not made of metal, thus hindi siya prone sa rust (except the allen screws) at oxidation.


EDIT: Just checked, meron na pala nung stainless steel saddles na ang may TUSQ lang ay yung saddle slots. I'm so outdated.

Yup. hehe. I'm also waiting for my Ratio tuners from Graphtech.

Cool concept from Graphtech. I'm just worried about the quality of the machine heads, how long they will last, will the plating be easily corroded, etc.

Yun oh! Saang gitara mo ilalagay?

They were top notch when they showed it to me. And they remind me off grovers in a way. I agree, to corrode or not to corrode that is crap if that happens lol! But im pretty sure they outdid themselves with the Ratio tuners.

Yun oh! Saang gitara mo ilalagay? 

At first i was planning to put in on my 7 string, they said it would be a custom order for me, then i just decided to order for my ESP Eclipse and will just get for 7 within the year.

Here's my Graphtech nut equipped Fender Stratocaster! Never had any tuning issues since I had it installed almost three years ago.

Cool paint job! You need string savers! They have the new string savers that matches your bridge instead of the common black string savers.

Glad that you liked the finish sir! It's one of the rare Fender finishes called Antigua. I'm actually thinking of getting those saddles since they fit the black hardware, green color theme of the instrument but I don't want a drastic change in tone. Any inputs? I'm a huge fan of yours btw. hahaha

Antigua, pretty!!!

Thank you! Appreciate it. I've been using string savers for 2 years already, i never broke a string since then. Tonewise well i notice just a slight decrease in highs but you won't really notice it until you look for that sound, get what i mean? Anyway, ive been really happy with the string savers. I normally break the A string even if it is a fresh batch of new strings, i tend to hit hard at times. I guess with the new saddles for the strat, you won't notice a difference at all. String savers are just the best investment you could do for a guitar.

I'll look into it in the future. Thanks for the insights sir! Sakit ko rin kasi makaputol ng wound strings minsan because of the angle that I hit them.

You can head to The Music Source TMS. Alimall branch they have a lot of graphtech parts!

[estaciodanny]

swak kaya dito yung graphtech saddles?
