Graph Tech makes high performance guitar components for the discerning musician. From finger pickers to shredders, some of the world's best-known musicians have come to rely on Graph Tech components for their tone, performance, and creative expression.
String Saver Saddles are a unique combination of materials made to enhance tone and dramatically reduce string breakage. Try them and you'll see why so many of our customers say String Savers are absolutely the best guitar modification they've ever made!
How do they work? A string resting on a metal saddle binds and locks the string in place. As the string vibrates, it stresses the string on a very specific point producing metal fatigue and then string breakage. Each String Saver saddle is impregnated with Teflon, the slipperiest substance on earth. The Teflon in String Savers eases the grip between the saddle and string spreading the stress over a greater portion of the string just enough to drastically reduce string breakage. Teflon is 500% more slippery than graphite and is impregnated throughout the String Saver material, so its lubricating properties will never wear out. For string breakage reduction the difference is dramatic.

"Wow!! If tone was money... Then this is a very smart financial decision on my part. This Sheraton guitar has lost nothing of it's mojo and the tone now is juicer, sweeter than ever. Even the annoying buzzes from the ABR bridge, that were only noticeable when the guitar wasn't plugged in are gone. My 300lb tone is intact on this guitar and I'm forever grateful to you good folks at Graph Tech. In my line of work (Performer/Teacher/Clinician) Tone "IS" Money!!! I'll tell you straight up this guitar has never sounded better. She's got that beautiful sound, with no loss in harmonics, responsiveness or sheer persuasive musical tone." MC Ruth
