For over twenty years Graph Tech has pioneered the development of innovative guitar parts designed to improve the guitar-playing experience by solving common problems and improving sound quality.

Tusq is a man made alternative for top nuts and saddles which has rich tone and sustain without the inconsistencies (hard and soft spots) that can be found in ivory, bone, horn and other similar materials. It is easy to work with and does not chip or flake like natural products. It is used by many quality guitar manufacturers.

Black Tusq top nuts and saddles are designed to boost your guitar's tone and performance. Made with a special formulation impregnated with Teflon allows the strings to slide over the surface easily meaning your strings glide back into position quickly.
