Description

Edit description

Upgrade your guitar's performance with the Graphtech PRS String Saver Saddles, designed specifically to enhance your playing experience. These saddles are not just a simple accessory; they're a game-changer for any PRS tremolo-equipped guitar. Crafted with a unique blend of materials, they are specially engineered to significantly reduce string breakage, ensuring your strings last longer even under intense playing conditions.

The secret lies in the incorporation of Teflon, a material known for its incredibly low friction properties. By easing the pressure points where the string meets the saddle, these saddles minimize metal fatigue and extend the life of your strings. Not only do they promise durability, but they also contribute to a more balanced tone, eliminating the harsh 2 KHz treble spikes often produced by metal saddles. Experience improved sustain, with highs, mids, and lows that sing with clarity and depth.

Installation is a breeze with these drop-in replacements. They feature a center intonation screw and a 2 1/16" string spacing, making them a perfect fit for your PRS tremolo system. Whether you're upgrading or replacing your current setup, these saddles promise a noticeable improvement in both sound and string longevity.
