It's business but it's personal! So, your order really matters to me!
For Sale:
1 X GRAPHTECH 9229-CO low action acoustic guitar saddle
Measurements as taken by us here at Guitar Mania:
Length – 70.5mm
Width – 3.2mm
Height – from 6.4mm Top E to 8.9mm D and G to 8.4mm Bottom E
Description:
What we have here is...
A genuine Graphtech Tusq acoustic guitar saddle. I buy them in Bulk so they are NOT in a retail blister pack.
We use these in our workshop but get asked for them all the time so thought I would sell them!
This
is the type of Saddle that are used on a few varieties of guitars
however it is pre-lowered to give your guitar a much LOWER string height
(action). The standard saddle that you get with many acoustic guitars
is around 10.5 to 12mm high. Measure your existing one, if your is
greater than 8.9mm then this will be an easy fit and won't need too much
filing / sanding if any.
I've put these side by side with the Taylor
saddle 7168 Micarta and it is very very similar in size so should be a
good alternative.
NOTE - can be quite easy to fit, you may need
to still file the bottom edge down to get the string height you want so
that will take a bit of care but otherwise it's pretty straight forward.
Make a note of the measurements, other saddles are available
More info:
TUSQ delivers the optimum frequencies from the strings to the guitar top, producing richer and fuller tone.
Guitar
makers and players agree...acoustic guitars come alive with TUSQ
man-made ivory. TUSQ is simply more efficient at transferring vibrations
to your guitar top, resulting in big open lows and clear bell like
highs.??
Bone and Ivory Nut and saddles have one inherent problem
- they're made from organic materials, and therefore have inconsistent
soft or dead spots because of their natural grain. TUSQ Nut, saddles and
bridge pins are precision engineered under high pressure and heat,
specifically to govern which frequencies are transferred to your guitar
top (tone), and which frequencies remain in the strings (sustain).??
TUSQ
is consistent from piece to piece, and within each piece, to offer you
harmonically rich tones without the problems associated with natural
materials.
Measurements
Length – 70.8mm
Width – 3.2mm
Height – 8.9mm
Note:
All Graph Tech Nut and saddles are slightly long and wide to ensure
extra room to achieve a perfect fit for your guitar. This extra material
can easily be removed with fine grit sandpaper.
NOTE: Possible expert fitting recommended.
