TUSQ® : Elevating Guitar Sound with Precision Engineering
TUSQ® delivers optimal frequencies from guitar strings to the top, resulting in a richer and fuller tone that guitar makers and players love. Unlike traditional bone and ivory nuts and saddles, which can be inconsistent due to natural grain variations, TUSQ's man-made ivory is precision-engineered under high pressure and heat to efficiently transfer vibrations. This innovation produces deep, resonant lows and bright, bell-like highs while eliminating soft or dead spots. Made from 100% organic polymers, TUSQ® components are free from animal by-products and ensure consistent performance in every piece. Experience harmonically rich tones without the drawbacks of natural materials with TUSQ® .
How does it sound?
TUSQ® delivers a rich tone, crystal clear bell like high end with big open lows and a significant increase in harmonic content and harmonic sustain. Increased harmonics equals more richness and character in your tone. Its the difference between a four piece choir and a twelve piece choir singing every time your play a note.
