This new saddle is highly recommended to all B-Band owners, the tonal and balance improvements are remarkable.

Here is some information on the TUSQ product and how it works:

TUSQ nuts, saddles and bridge pins are designed to transfer the right frequencies more efficiently from the string to the guitar body, and has been proven to increase the harmonic sustain of a guitar. Acoustic guitars come alive with delicate highs and big open lows!

TUSQ is far superior in sound and appearance to synthetics such as MicartaTM and CorianTM. The high levels of heat and pressure used in making TUSQ results in its exotic ivory-like appearance.

Join those who know great guitar tone! TUSQ is used by: Martin, Taylor, Larrivee, Gibson Acoustic Guitars, Tacoma Guitars, Ovation, Rick Turner, Garrison Guitars, Breedlove, Manuel Rodriguez, Rainsong, Carvin, Landola and many, many more.

MAN MADE IVORY Sounds so good, it must be illegal! If you have a high quality acoustic or vintage guitar you owe it to yourself to hear the difference a TUSQ® nut and saddle will make. Compared to standard materials, you’ll hear crystal clear bell-like high end, big open lows, and a noticable increase in overall sustain.

TUSQ vs. Bone - Enhanced Volume & Sustain TUSQ has quickly become an important tone performance tool for many guitar manufacturers, luthiers and playing professionals around the world. TUSQ nuts and saddles have rich tone and sustain, without the inconsistency found in ivory, bone and other natural materials. Bone and ivory have hard and soft spots (grain), throughout each piece, hampering consistent transfer of vibrations to the guitar top.

The model number is BB-BQ926600 with a RRP of $16.95.
