Graph Tech and Valjean Leiker develop O.S Tele Saddles open sound, sustain

The Increased Oscillation and Sustain (I.O.S) Tele Saddles evolved from a conversation between Valjean Leiker, guitar tech for Smash Mouth at the time, and Dave Dunwoodie, President of Graph Tech Guitar Labs. Valjean wanted to find an alternative to the original saddles on Greg Camp’s (Smash Mouth) guitar. His vision was to combine today’s technology with the vintage style Fender. The original saddles were simply bolts with threads that didn’t run through to the strings. According to Valjean, “The tone was muffled similar to that of a vibrating sitar-type sound.” The goal was to eliminate the old-style threaded saddle and try something different.

Enter Graph Tech. Dave Dunwoodie worked with Valjean to come up with a barrel saddle that would provide exceptional tonality and brilliance while eliminating the persistent rattling sound. Graph Tech modified its Tele Vintage 3-Piece Saddle by cutting away a section of the barrel to create a downward slope. The string and saddle contact points were now positioned on an angle.

Valjean Leiker tested the product until the saddles achieved an optimal tone. The final result: I.O.S Tele Saddles (TUSQ) that successfully brighten up the surfer-style tone on Greg Camp’s guitar. I.O.S Tele Saddles open up string vibration for a fatter more open sound, increased sustain, and the elimination of the “sitaring” effect. The 3-Piece saddles (PS-8163-00 and PQ-8613-00) also feature built-in compensation.

Available in both TUSQ and String Saver, I.O.S. Tele Saddles are an important upgrade for any guitarist seeking improved performance from their Tele-style guitar.
