Graph Tech Guitar Labs, the world’s largest guitar nut and saddle manufacturer would like to officially announce the release of the new Kenny Wayne Shepherd Signature Series Fender^® Stratocaster with String Saver^™ Saddles.

The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Stratocaster is equipped with a synchronized tremolo bridge loaded with Graph Tech’s String Saver Classic Steel Saddles. It combines vintage style with contemporary features and is based on Shepherd’s own ‘61 instrument. Other features include an alder-body, maple neck with 12″-radius rosewood fingerboard and 21 jumbo frets.

“I like String Saver saddles because they save my strings from breaking…I’ve been using them now for at least 10 years, if not longer, and I’ve noticed a significant decrease in string breakage…I hardly ever break strings anymore….. including them on my Signature Series Stratocaster is a good testament to the quality of the product”.

– Kenny Wayne Shepherd

The String Saver Classic combines the String Saver technology with the classic looks of a steel saddle. This combination gives a slightly brighter tone than String Saver saddles plus the performance of long string life.

Having the confidence in knowing that your strings will hold up no matter how hard you play lets you concentrate on playing and staying in the moment, not worrying if you are going to break a string. Having your guitar perform to its maximum potential lets you perform to your maximum potential.

String Saver Saddles are factory installed by: Schecter, Carvin, Peavey and Yamaha Custom Shop.
