For strat style necks
Nice nut, needs some filing using proper nut slot files to get the desired action (but that's a given) fit nicely in my Aria pro series strat style guitar, did have to sand it down just a hair, using a flat surface to bring the width down.

Perfect fit for Squier SE Strat
Bought this nut to replace the original nut in a 2000s Squier SE Strat with 22 frets (full thickness body). The old nut came straight out with little effort leaving a clean nut slot. This was an almost straight replacement, it was just a tiny bit too thick to drop in. The old nut was 3.17mm thick, the Graphtech nut was 3.22mm; it just needed a bit of sanding to take off 0.05mm. Then it dropped in for a snug fit, no glue required to hold in place. String spacing is perfect, and no slot filing required, string heights are pretty much spot on. No other shaping required. Performance is excellent so far, just as expected.

Needs sanding to fit but not much

Nice nut
A nicely pre slotted nut which drops in to replace the previous one on my guitar with very little adjustment- I just sanded the nut down on one side to make it thinner . It fits well with no glue needed. Tuning is vastly improved instantly! I believe the guitar plays better because of this.

Great tone - you must replace your cheap plastic nuts with these
This is the second Tusq nut I've installed. They really make a noticeable improvement to the tone of the guitar if you have a cheap plastic nut. I used this on an old Squire. Far better to spend your money on a good quality nut than locking tuners.

Squire Strat
Fantastic! My old squire now holds tune so much better. The tuning is now so much more stable that I have turned back to having a floating bridge. Before it was a plastic nut that seemed to grip the strings even with nut sauce on. Super easy to fit, you will need a bit of sandpaper and a flat surface. Most difficult part is removing the old nut, did this with a Stanley knife and a very small flat head screwdriver. Took me half hour to get it swapped out and adjusted. Great.

Really does improve tone and sustain.
I have fitted Tusq nuts to all my Guitars and to those of friends. My Les Pauls have also got white Tusq saddles. My Telecaster and Stratocaster have the Tusq nut. What I get is a very noticable increase in Tone, Sustain, and overall "more alive" feeling with greater touch sensitivity. They bring out MORE of what the guitar has. They make an already great sounding guitar awesome, and a dull one great. Although I'm not a luthier, I am able to fit them myself with a minimum of tools, but would advise anyone who isn't confident with their ability to do it themselves to get a professional to do it for them. Look at it like this....... You've made a big investment in your guitar/amp etc. why not spend a bit more to get the VERY best from it. I am in no way connected with anyone who makes or sells Tusq, I'm a Guitarist who just wants others to gain from my own experience and pass on what I Know from actual personal experience. Happy plucking all.

Bought for a partscaster. Had to sand some of the thickness so it would fit into the nut slot of the neck, and shim it with a business card soaked in super glue to give it a touch more height. The pre-cut slots are great for 9-42 gauge strings. Width was exact and needed no adjustments.

耐久性がどうとか、硬度が牛骨より劣るなどと言われてるようですが、実際どうなのかは分かりません サンドペーパーで厚みを削った感じでは硬さがあるようで少し時間がかかりました fender系ストラトに付けましたが予想以上にチューニングが安定、アーミングしてもほぼ狂いが出なくなりました 巻き弦の音質がブライトな感じになって生音が大きくなった ただ、全体的にはやや雑味のある音色のようにも感じます 音の違いはギターにもよるので一概には判断できませんが確かに響きは良くなってます 牛骨のピッタリサイズが見当たらなかったのでこれを購入したのですが、特に不満は無し 結果、正解だったようです

La marque référence... Facile à placer sur une guitare entrée de gamme d'importation, juste un léger ponçage nécessaire.
