Graph Tech

Graph Tech makes the parts of a guitar players notice only when they go wrong. The Canadian company's TUSQ and Black TUSQ XL nuts and saddles, its String Saver range and the Ratio tuning machines all target the same set of problems: tuning stability, string binding and consistent transfer at the break points. Manufacturers specify them widely, which is why the name shows up throughout our archive on new Gretsch, Cort, Epiphone, Fender and Gibson models rather than in stories of its own.
