- Hi, I'm Dave Dunwoodie, founder, inventor and president at Graph Tech Guitar Labs. "
Our mission statement is just five simple words "to improve your playing experience. Graph Tech's components are improving the performance of more stringed instruments than any other company in the world. In 1983, we invented the self-lubricating nut; it was the first nut produced using PTFE, and one of the industry's first black colored nuts. In 1990 we patented the only guitar saddle proven to reduce string breakage by over 90% - String Saver Saddles - and in 1992 we introduced the world to TUSQ. Man- made ivory. These nuts, saddles and bridge pins, have proven to more than double the perceived volume of harmonic richness when you play. Today we make TUSQ picks, the world's first harmonically rich pick with built-in tone and now Ratio tuned machine heads with innovative balanced gear technology that makes tuning, retuning and open tunings an easier, more intuitive experience.
Stay tuned, we've got more innovation and great products coming your way because, our mission is, to improve your playing experience. Dave Dunwoodie- Founder-Inventor & Head Honcho.
Muchas gracias por el video está excelente!!!
These graptech boys had parker bridges nasty af
Thank you!
What guitar is that nothing like mechanics of anything I've owned
Its some kind of Parker Fly. Strange to demo on such and unusual guitar.
@@andtothewestamerica Yeah, really weird to demo this product on a very unusual use case.
Hi can I replace the piezo saddle on my EBMM silhouette (I think it's a fishman powerbridge) , without changing the preamp with graptech pn-8000?
Are you in Montreal?
Se puede instalar en una guitarra con cuerdas de Nylon?
Can you make this video but for a stratocaster?
Yeah, I wonder if it's even possible to cram all that stuff into a standard strat cavity.
No it isn't possible, you'd need to route out an extra cavity
Hi Dave, nice video, very useful stuff! maybe you can help with this: I have a godin lgxt. can I replace my RMC saddles with graphtech ones using the existing godin circuitry ? thanks for your attention, Steve.
Hi Steven, short answer is yes, there have been quite a few musician’s that have done retro fits on their Godin’s. Of course, you are going to have to do a bit of soldering, but other than that, it’s pretty straight forward. If you have any questions just email support@graphtech.com and the support team will be able to answer any of your questions.
@@realtusq Hi, thank you , this is great news! I suspect my rmc's are on the way out. Will use a small solder tip and tell you how I get on. thanks again.
Great Video, but like others in comments, would be better to use video's on non pre-existing installations, i.e. Les Paul and Strat? Other than that, "Prease Crean-up Engrish", Ha! Leave the "CRAMP" bit though, too funny!!!
At 12 minutes in, you show your mini toggle being replaced with the larger, metal toggle typical in guitars (I am installing these into a Sterling JP-100D). The toggles I am finding are 12 pin, not the 3 pin like you have in the video and I am having issues sourcing them. Can you give me a hand? Thanks, great video, even though it sounds like most of us are NOT replacing an existing piezo, but rather adding it to a magnetic pu guitar.
Graph Tech only supplies the mini SPDT (on/off/on) switches (depicted on the left in the video), however, larger "LP style" switches are definitely available from third parties if needed. Please message us directly for suggestions or any other technical questions / concerns (support@graphtech.com)
Where is the string ground in this install? I pulled the saddles in mine but noticed the string ground comes from the shield of the old lead wire, which I haven't yet removed.
the ground goes from the cavity to the trem plate that holds the springs. I guess the ground passes through the bridge to the strings
Is it necessary to add 13 pin socket to my yamaha pecifica??
To my knowledge no, the ghost pickup series can be connected to the acoustic option and/or the midi option, he 13 pin socket only being required for the midi circuitry, meaning if you only want the acoustic circuitry then you only need the modifications for that
According to the 00:32 second mark, I need to find my cramp for a successful install. I think it's in my jaw after clenching my teeth while the wife berates me for buying this...I can see over her shoulder, her seasonal assortment of shoes is hanging on the door in an organizer, so heavy it causes the hinges to fatigue and bind.
Some folks might cut the bent string ends off before pulling them through the bridge and possibly damaging the finish...
Great Tip! Thanks for sharing.
But what if this used a common guitar and wasn't filmed like a hostage video?
Молодцы! Ставлю на балалайку такую систему . отрезали два провода "лишних" появился сильный фон , щас будем переделывать . В бумажной инструкции не написано куда паять эти провода
What is the name of this kind of bridge?
J Sbcm it's parker guitars own design floating bridge
99% of us have a completely different bridge....nice video but useless for some points
This video should be titled "How to Install Piezo Pickups on a Guitar that Already has Piezo Pickups". I did not find this video useful sorry to say.
It’s also adding MIDI so you can play synth using a Roland SY-1000 or one of their other MIDI interface devices. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but weirdos like Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, and John McLaughlin do this.
