Two decades ago, Dave Dunwoodie, Graph Tech President, was mid-performance at a gig in his home town of Vancouver, Canada. Hitting the tremolo bar on his first Fender Strat (he was a Gibson man) during a guitar solo, he was immediately introduced to the problem of string binding on traditional guitar nuts. "I went to do my first big “wang” and went totally out of tune" Dave says. "I couldn't use the guitar for stage work at all".
Spurred by the resurgence in popularity of tremolo guitars, the need for pencil lead in the nut slots, and his own frustration, Dave began experimenting with a variety of composite guitar nuts designed to eliminate string binding before engineering the world’s first permanently-lubricated nut, a formula that is 500% slipperier than graphite.
Dave has been "nuts" ever since, and more than twenty years later Graph Tech Guitar Labs has become an institution, producing some of the industry's most innovative and reliable nuts, saddles, bridge pins and pickup systems.
Based in Vancouver, Canada, Graph Tech's business is steadily increasing. Housing the entire operation in a state-of-the-art facility, Dave takes a hands-on approach from product design and manufacturing to marketing and shipping. Graph Tech distributes their products worldwide.
