Graphtech PT500000 Black Tusq Xl Nut - Slotted St Style

What I didn't know is that you CAN get this tusk XL nut in the ivory colour! But I kinda like the black now it's in... It didn't affect my tone that I could hear, the last one was just plain tusk, not the XL. Where I used pencil graphite to keep the strings moving. Of course with XL it's intrinsically self lubricating via what it's made of. This particular nut is pretty cool because you may not know if you have a flat or round bottom without removing the old nut. Well I work out, so I have a flat bottom. Where you just leave the tab on. If you have a round bottom, you can easily file the tab off. One thing! If you have a flat bottom, then with this nut, not all of your bottom will touch the timber. This when Graphtech say that their nuts have better tone because there's no cavities in them, like with bone etc. Well, with this nut you have two big cavities either side of the tab? Okay so, on my Strat this is the third nut, the first, the original nut was plastic and it was hollow!! It was okay... The next was one of these but just tusk not XL. It improved the tone!! The current one is the XL the tone didn't seem to change? Context: I also have the Graphtech metal body saddles with PTFE inserts. Now those DID improve the tone to a surprising degree! They put a smile on my face. And they are GREAT! Hardly any string breakages, more stable tuning. I think that the nuts don't notice as much because when fretting you aren't playing through the nut. You're playing from fret to saddle? And .. Concider Floyd Rose Guitars! They have a metal nut, and they still have great tone. So, will I buy the flat bottom version ? No... I'm happy with this one. I think that the flat bottom would only amount to a teeny improvement when playing open strings. I think that Graphtech are a great company! They don't make false claims, and they really believe in their products, I saw one of the founders on line. It's refreshing! So... That's it my review... Where I'll just say it one more time 'bottom' 😅

It needs some sanding adjusting, but if you are careful it is manageable to get it to measure. Replaced nut on my Fender Performer HSS Strat. Works well.

Tra i migliori capotasti nut tusq per chitarre Fender. Segue il radius, si monta con facilità se si ha dimestichezza col calibro e la carta abrasiva. Ottimo.

Muy fácil de ajustar. Perfectamente compatible con Squier, buena altura y tono al tocar. Mucho mejor q el plástico q trae de fábrica.

fenderストラトキャスター56年型に使用しました。他のパーツではこのネック特有のRが合わずギターとナットの間に隙間ができてしまいましたが、これはセンターの突起を削り微調整できるので隙間なく仕上げることができました。弦の振動がダイレクトにヘッド部分に伝わるのでクリアな音になったと感じました
