Graph Tech Introduces FerraGlide Saddles
June 20, 2003
Graph Tech Guitar Labs
announced a new incarnation of String Saver guitar saddles. Named
"FerraGlide", the new saddles borrow polymer technology from Graph
Tech's patented String Saver saddles in the form of an insert, which
is inset into a classic steel saddle. The inset String Saver material
releases micro-lubricants activated by string pressure that allows the
string to vibrate freely. The result accordingto the company is strings that last and last.
"While String Saver saddles have been enormously popular with guitarists
trying to alleviate string breakage problems and improve sustain, we
have heard from players who wished to preserve the look of their vintage
instrument." states Dave Dunwoodie, President. "We can now offer those
players String Saver benefit with classic looks and tone."
While four models are presently available, Dunwoodie suggests that
the line may expand to include other guitar models by fall.
Models:
- PG-8000-00 Import Strat Saddle
- PG-8001-00 Strat Plus Off-set Saddle
- PG-8100-N0 Tele Narrow Saddle
- PG-8220-00 PRS Saddle
MSRP: $59.95
