T-Bone for Tele-style Guitars w/Brass Tone Block
T-BONE brings more sustain, punch, clarity, faster attack, and resonance to your Tele-style guitar.
Installation is easy, non-invasive and requires only a medium Phillips head screwdriver and a new set of strings.
T-Bone's interchangeable Tone Blocks fit in the cutout at the base of the T-Bone plate directly over the string ferrules.
This critical contact point at the ball end of the strings allows you to alter the frequency spectrum of your guitar for a wide range of natural tonal options that come directly from the core of your guitar.
The cutout allows the Tone Blocks to self-adjust for varying lengths between the neck mount screws and the string ferrrules.
Brass Tone Block (Included with all T-Bones):
Provides full spectrum resonance enhancement with tremendous sustain and extended harmonics, plus more clarity, punch and faster attack.
Brass will produce a well balanced spectrum of frequencies for all playing styles like Rock, Pop and Country.
Brass is the first choice to get the most pronounced enhancement on Tele style guitars.
All T-Bones include the Brass Tone Block.
Graph Tech 3-piece Compensated String Saver Saddles
Made with a unique combination of materials made to enhance tone and dramatically reduce string breakage.
The 3-piece Compensated String Saver IOS Saddles (PS-8163-00) are superior replacement saddles for Fender Telecaster electric guitars.
The String Saver guitar saddle is made with a unique combination of materials made to enhance tone and dramatically reduce string breakage.
How does the Graph Tech String Saver Saddle work?
A string rests on a metal saddle that binds and locks the string in place.
As the string vibrates, it is stressed on a very specific point producing metal fatigue and then string breakage.
Each String Saver guitar saddle is impregnated with Teflon, the slipperiest substance on earth.
The Teflon in the String Savers guitar saddle eases the grip between the saddle and string, spreading the stress over a greater portion of the string, just enough to drastically reduce string breakage.
Teflon is 500% more slippery than graphite and is impregnated throughout the Graph Tech String Saver material, so its lubricating properties will never wear out.
Use the String Saver guitar saddle and get strings that last and last, no matter how hard you play&hellipGraph Tech guarantees it!
What do they sound like?
Metal saddles have a pronounced 2 KHz treble spike that dominates the tonal spectrum.
The String Saver guitar saddle has a more balanced tone, with highs, mids and big open lows.
You will also notice this Graph Tech saddles provides an increase in sustain by up to 25% over brass saddles and 15% over steel.
