What do elephants and guitars have in common?
They usually both feature beautiful ivory!
Think about this: what would happen if every guitar player in the world stopped buying guitars with ivory inlay?
Any decrease in ivory demand is an increase for the safety of elephants in the wild.
"Graph Tech Guitar Labs, the world’s largest manufacturer of premium guitar nuts and saddles, is pleased to announce our support for IFAW in protecting elephants from habitat loss, conflict with humans and poaching. Through producing our harmonically rich Graph Tech offers a superior nut and saddle material alternative to ivory or bone.
“If you calculate the annual weight of the TUSQ material we have sold, Graph Tech has potentially saved the equivalent weight of over 1100 African elephant tusks every year”! says Dave Dunwoodie, Graph Tech founder and head honcho.
Graph Tech also supports WWF by making an annual donation to WWF, on our customer’s behalf and supporting WWF- “wifelife adoption program”.
Graph Tech is committed to animal protection as well as reducing our environmental impact. Recently, Graph Tech changed our nut and saddle packaging and have reduced our packaging cubic space and weight by over 250%. The skin packing material used is also plant based and compostable."
