Dick plays a Fender Stratocaster guitar equipped with String Saver Saddles

To withstand the rigors of his percussive playing style, Dick swears by Graph Tech's String Saver saddles:

"I don't have time for wussy string saddles! I need saddles that can take it! Not get cut up and heat up strings. I wouldn't think of playing "the Beast" without String Saver saddles, and you can take that to the bank!" - Dick Dale
