[RWP] Adrenalinn guitar pedal's sounds

[Colin McDonald]

the graphtech products, which are nuts, saddles and various other guitar 
related stuff, are made from a carbon fiber graphite composit.  Google it 
for more detailed info, but no, they're not just metal coated with a hard 
resistant plastic.
Graphtech saddles will take a little bit of the twang out of the guitar, but 
you'll basically never break another string at the saddle ever again...same 
with the graphtech graphite nuts...which you know about.
I think in 7 years of owning a guitar with graphtech saddles, i've broken 
two strings, and that wasn't at the saddle on either one...and that is a 
daily player and my main gigging guitar.
even just a graphite nut will improve tuning stability by allot...strings 
just don't bind in the graphite nuts and so you don't get strings jumping up 
in pitch from retuning then bending while playing.

Regards
Colin
