Almost three decades ago, Dave Dunwoodie, Graph Tech's President, was mid-performance at a gig in his hometown 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.  Graph Tech was started on a kitchen table over 30 years ago, with the same purpose it still has today. To invent, design and manufacture, cool, new and useful guitar products, that really do what they say they will do.
