    Always TUSQ!!! Best sounding most consistent NUT you will ever find!! Do away with those cheap plastic parts and steal tone and sustain!!! Super easy to replace and set the nut height for proper play and string gauge!! Best upgrade next to a pickup swap!!

    The nut was in perfect condition and after installation, it needed no slot adjustment. Each string was between .021" to .023" above 1st fret.. The width was spot on and the surfaces were well polished. This nut was installed on a 2013 Fender Deluxe Player Stratocaster.

    I use Tusq nuts and saddles on several of my guitars and I am always impressed with the construction, fit, tone, and overall high quality of Tusq parts.

    Tusq XL Industry standard.

    First of all the TUSQ material has become the industry standard. This has amazing properties, never brittle, easy to file and shape, yet keeps its form and lasts a long time once installed on the instrument. I've been a luthier for 35 years. I've worked with bone, micarta, nubone, corian, every material they make nuts and saddles out of--there's nothing that compares to the TUSQ material. When cut and installed correctly, this has solved many tuning issues especially with vintage Strat synchro-style trems. This particular model is the FLAT bottom. It's NOT the correct fit for most vintage style necks, BUT in a pinch you can dremel the bottom and replicate the fretboard curve and it'll install just fine. You always have to fine-tune these--meaning it takes some minor filing/sanding to get ...

    TUSQ nut

    Many people swear by these so I thought I would try one. They are spaced correctly, the slots are pre slotted correctly. Size is right. I hear a bit of a ceramic y sound. Does not really sound like metal frets. I think these are better suited to acoustics then electric guitar which I put it on. Still, well made works great .

  • Tusq nut

    I put one of these on all of my builds. I tend to use cheaper Kmise necks for partscasters and they come with cheesy placeholder plastic nuts. Adding one of these will immediately increase your tuning stability. They all come a shade wide for the slot. Simply lay a sheet of 400 grit sandpaper on something flat and work the nut until it just fits. I don't even glue mine in -- just let them float and they never move a micron under string tension. The slots are easy to carve, although I often don't need to.

  • Perfect fit

    Dropped right in my Squire '51 neck with no additional filing. Couldn't believe it was .020 all the way across each string at the 1st fret.
