TUSQ Saddles


Read 24 Reviews   |   Write a Review

Available in convenient ready-made shapes and sizes, TUSQ® bridge saddles are preferred by many acoustic guitarmakers for rich tone and sustain. TUSQ is an advanced polymer that's formed under high heat and pressure for uniform density. It's designed to transfer string energy more efficiently, to make guitars come alive with enhanced harmonics, volume and sustain. Final trimming required; please measure your bridge slot before ordering.

"TUSQ nuts and saddles have improved the sustain and clarity of our guitars. We now use them on all models." —Bob Taylor, Taylor Guitars

Excellent Service quality items

I have been a new customer for only a short time and have learned a lot from all their video's and have bought a lot of excellent tools from StewMac.com and will continue to do so. I have not had the time to work on my items but do have the highest respect for stewmac.com

great upgrade

Just installed these into my acoustics. Very impressed with the fit and finish of these products. They needed very minor sanding to fit but fit like a glove. Tone is much improved! thanks stew-mac and tusq!

Just what I needed....

It required some filing to fit right but that's to be expected. Good quality and it sounds fine.

TUSQ saddle for Gibson Maestro

I recently set out to improve a guitar that I acquired. The guitar is an entry level Gibson Maestro. The unit came with plastic saddle and nut. After cutting a bone nut and installing it, I was still not happy with sustain and such. so then I bought and installed a TUSQ saddle. WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Sustain improved dramatically and I was also able to take care of a nagging problem-that of the low E and A strings going sharp at the 12th fret. The TUSQ unit comes with instructions on how to cut and shape it and installation is a breeze. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to upgrade a cheap guitar or who needs a new saddle in a quality guitar, you won't go wrong.
