TUSQ nuts and saddles are used by top luthiers and guitar manufacturers worldwide for their effective sound enhancement. TUSQ nuts and saddles deliver a clear, rich sound and sustain unmatched by bone or synthetic materials, and comparable to ivory.
TUSQ nuts and saddles are designed to transfer string vibrations to the body most efficiently. The result is a lossless acoustic resonance, from crisp highs to rich lows. The harmonic content is also far superior to bone, restoring the wonderful sound that would have been lost due to other components. For acoustic guitars, maximum effect can be achieved by having all three components: nut, saddle, and bridge pin.
