Graph TechTUSQ Oversized Guitar Saddle Blank Ivory
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An unshaped oversized TUSQ saddle blank. For builders and techs who cut saddles to their own dimensions rather than buying pre-made.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bridges with nonstandard slot width or length
- Techs who cut and compensate saddles by hand
- Builds where no off-the-shelf saddle fits
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting a drop-in replacement out of the package
- Players without a sanding block, files, and calipers
- First-time setup work where a pre-shaped saddle is safer
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Oversized
Extra length, height, and thickness give you material to remove. You sand down to your slot rather than shimming up.
Detail 03
TUSQ material
Man-made ivory substitute with consistent density. Sands and files predictably, without bone's soft spots or smell.
Detail 04
Ivory/white color
Matches light saddles on most acoustics. Won't blend with black bridge hardware.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Requires sanding, thicknessing, and radiusing — this is a workshop part
- 02Compensation must be cut by you if your guitar needs it
- 03Blank only. No files, sanding block, or template included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Why buy a blank instead of a finished saddle?
Because your slot is an odd width or length, or you want to set compensation and radius yourself. If a stock saddle fits, buy the stock saddle.
02How do I thin it to my slot width?
Sand one face flat on adhesive-backed paper over a flat block, checking with calipers until it slides in snugly without forcing.
03Can I use this for an under-saddle pickup?
Yes, as long as you sand the bottom perfectly flat and square so it makes even contact across the pickup.
04Is TUSQ harder to work than bone?
No. It cuts and sands easily and stays uniform throughout, so there are no dense or soft patches to fight.
