Sought by artists and craftsmen alike, ivory has long been coveted by guitar makers for its beauty and tonal characteristics, to the detriment of the elephant population. Despite its mystique, ivory, like bone, has inherent problems: it is organic material, and therefore has inconsistent soft or dead spots in each piece because of its natural grain and also has inconsistencies from piece to piece, resulting in the same guitars sounding totally different.

TUSQ has been laboratory-proven to be far superior in tone to ivory and bone, and synthetic alternatives such as Micarta and Corian. Precision engineered under high pressure and heat, TUSQ is specifically formulated to deliver the right frequencies with the optimum transfer rate to the top of your guitar, every time. To your ear, this makes your guitar, every time. To your ear, this makes your guitar sound richer, and more alive. For years, many of the world's finest guitar makers and players have added TUSQ nuts, saddles, and bridge pins to their list of tone essentials.
