TUSQ artificial ivory is more efficient than natural ivory at transferring vibrations to the top and bottom of the guitar. TUSQ bridge nuts, saddles and pins are precision engineered under high pressure and heat, specifically to control which frequencies are transferred to the top of the guitar (tone) and which frequencies remain in the strings (sustain). TUSQ is made with 100% organic polymers, contains no oil or animal byproducts, and is consistent from piece to piece and within each piece.
TUSQ delivers harmonically rich tones without the problems associated with natural materials.
