Schaller adopts KTS Titanium saddles on their guitar bridges
Joining German engineering and Japanese manufacturing, for the best tone possible.
The Schaller GTM range is one of the most successful Tune-o-matic style bridges available today, while the Vintage Tremolo range is the Schaller’s upgrade on the classic 2-pivot design for Strat-Stye guitars.
KTS as leading producer
KTS is already providing Titanium saddles, bridges, trussrods and neck reinforcement bars to many artists, builders and manufacturers worldwide.
Their exclusive manufacturing technologies, pioneered and developed in conjunction with the Japan Acoustic Laboratory, made the physical advantages of Titanium available for the music industry:
Titanium is about half the weight of stainless steel, more durable, more resistant to corrosion and chemical agents.
Even more important for manufacturers and musicians, a Titanium saddle set exhibits great tone: sustain, definition, harmonic content, all these key tonal elements are noticeably improved over other commonly used materials.
The new models of the GTM and Vintage Tremolo bridges will be available worldwide now. Schaller and KTS will continue to explore more and innovative solutions, to offer the best functioning and sounding hardware to the most discriminating players.
KTS Musical Products Inc. was established in 1997 by Hiroshi Masuda, coming from a family business specialized in high-quality precision manufacturing of metal parts for the watches industry. Hiroshi quickly realized the advantages of Titanium and its ability to transfer sound energy. In cooperation with the Japan Acoustic Laboratory, KTS created Titanium guitar and bass bridge parts that specifically utilize every advantage that Titanium has to offer.
KTS products are adopted worldwide by top players, builders, luthiers and manufacturers (www.k-t-s.com).
