Fishman to Manufacture and Distribute "The Cleartone Saddle"

FISHMAN Signs Licensing Agreement to Manufacture and Distribute "The Cleartone Saddle".

March 11, 1998 -- Larry Fishman, president of Fishman Transducers, signed an exclusive manufacturing and distribution deal with George Dickson, of Dickson's Cleartone Saddle.

The Cleartone Saddle has a distinctive design comprised of scalloped perforations and a traditional saddle profile. However, FISHMAN is molding the saddle with a newly developed proprietary material unearthed by Larry Fishman and his engineering team. This new proprietary material is highly resilient and extremely conductive for sound. The scalloped perforations form a pedestal under each string, providing a focused path for each string to your guitar's sound .... the top! Acoustic guitarists will notice an immediate improvement in tone and clarity. And for players using any type of bridge pickup, your prayers have been answered with the new Cleartone Saddle.

The secret behind the Cleartone saddle is the synthesis of the design and the materials used in its manufacture. This saddle can quickly adjust to any surface irregularities that may be present in your bridge slot, something that a solid bone or stiff plastic saddle simply cannot do. Now obtaining even string pressure across the entire length of the saddle is simple, assuring improved overall string balance and output, essential either with the use of an under- saddle pickup or without. Further, the amount of phase cancellation due to string interaction is greatly reduced, due to the unique perforations.
