Remellick Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Replacing plastic nut saddle and pins with Graph Tech tusq products. Nut is the replacement model for this guitar but the saddle is a 16" radius microbalanced compensated saddle specifically for acoustic/electric and the pins are their white "presentation" style with puau shell dots tusq. Question: Anyone here with experience installing or playing this specific saddle and these specific style pins by graph tech tusq on their acoustic electric epiphone?

Doug N. Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 No one?.. really? I changed the saddle on my DR Masterbuilt. I purchased a few generic ones and filed them to meet the size of the old with a few modifications for height. I wanted to lower the height but took the original too far. I don't like to shim them. Have not done a nut yet. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remellick Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 I'm comfortable with installation and all.. but I was hoping to hear some reviews on these particular parts from actual customers of Graph Techs tusq microbalanced 16" radius compensated acoustic/electric saddle.

Remellick Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Ok.. Update in case anyone is left wondering.. graph tech customer support FAILED! The 16" microbalanced tusq saddle was much too small in length for my Aj-200 and the "presentation" style pins from tusq were also too small. Nut was perfect size and it is installed and waiting for me to lower it. I went ahead and ordered the 3"tusq saddle (pq-9276-00) which is also waiting for me to custom fit. For now I will stick with the plastic pins that came in the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
