DELTA, B.C.; Dec. 5, 2005 – Graph Tech Guitar Labs, the world’s largest manufacturer of quality guitar nuts and saddles (NAMM booth #5920 Hall B), and TonePros Sound Labs International, the world’s premiere electric guitar bridge designers (NAMM booth #1526 Hall E), have combined forces to create the SuperBridge, a TonePros® signature tune-o-matic locking bridge featuring Graph Tech’s patented String Saver™ saddles.

Graph Tech’s String Saver saddles, made from a superior chemically-grafted polymer that includes Teflon, produce a 15% increase in sustain over standard steel saddles while virtually eliminating string breakage. The tune-o-matic locking bridges designed by TonePros also improve sustain and acoustic coupling to the guitar while improving intonation.

“This is an unbeatable combination for players and manufacturers looking to improve guitar performance,” says Dave Dunwoodie, founder and President of Graph Tech Guitar Labs.

Chrome, nickel, gold and black tune-o-matic SuperBridges are available in both small and large post versions from www.graphtech.com or www.tonepros.com. MSRP is $94.95 to $99.95 USD.
