Graph Tech PQL-5000-00 TUSQ XL 6-String Slotted Electric Guitar Nut for Fender, Ivory

I bought this to fix issues with the factory nut on my new Telecaster. The new nut fit my Mexican Tele perfectly. I had to file the center pin off to match the 9.5" radius of the slot and do a bit of filing on the edges because it was a mm wider on each side than the width of the neck. All very minor work and expected. Seating was tight and I had to use pressure to seat it entirely. It's not going anywhere and no glue required. String slots were the perfect width and I no longer hear the sitar like twang when playing open strings. It's a cheap and easy replacement.

This nut fit in my Mighty Mite strat neck perfectly, with no sanding or filing. Sung, no glue necessary. Exactly the right height. I’m surprised absolutely no installation mods required. Much higher quality than the stock nut, you can hear the ping and ring increased. Very nice.

Arrived on time, fit perfectly! Great product and great seller!!

I use these on all 6 of my stratocasters along with TUSQ saddles, resolves any binding issues so the strings stay in tune.

Fit perfect with no filing needed!

Fit is snug and width just slightly oversized. Dressed it out with a fingernail file and pressed it in. Required a little work with the files to set it up as expected for a new nut.

15 dollars seems like a lot but it took my Strat from an 8 to a 10. Way better action and tone. Well worth it.

Bought as a replacement nut for a Fender Nashville Telecaster. You need to file off the knob off the bottom and then use 400 grit sandpaper to shape the bottom. To get the profile correct, cut out a piece off sandpaper and place over the first fret. Lightly sand the bottom of the Tusq nut over the sandpaper to ensure it’s shaped properly. I also had to sand the side of the nut for it to fit snug in the slot. The key is to take your time and re-check the fit after each sanding. The nut should not rock back and forth in the slot. I noticed an immediate increase in sustain and tuning stability after installation. Highly recommended.

Fue una excelente mejora para mi guitarra Fender Player Stratocaster, aunque en verdad no se necesitaba. La pestaña que tiene la cejuela hace que la puedas instalar tanto en guitarras con cavidad plana (como fue mi caso) como en aquellas con cavidad curva limándola, solo hay que convencer a los técnicos / lauderos sin experiencia que lo hagan mostrándoles el video oficial desde la página de GraphTech.

Arrived damaged, so returned. Unable to comment on this further as it was unfit for purpose due to the damage.
