## Description

graphtech black tusq xl nut - flat bottom st 42mm

Review: Quality - Nice tight fit in a HB TE52 after a little sanding on the fret board side. Needed a little edge sanding as well. Perfectly cut slots for frets 1 2 3 tuning accuracy. Tuning stability excellent. Worth the cost for a quality upgrade to budget guitars.
Review: Excellent product. - I bought a very cheap second hand strat copy to use as a take anywhere guitar. After replacing the strings and adjusting neck tension , bridge action and intonation it was a lot better but the nut action was very high and uneven. I tried filing and shaping but it didn't respond and went bad. After checking the dimensions I ordered this nut which arrived in good time. It was slightly too thick to slip in but after 15 minutes careful sanding it was a firm fit. I didn't use any glue, letting the string tension do the work. Before fitting I wasn't sure about the string height, looking maybe too low for comfort, but after tuning it was spot on. Guitar now very playable. Very good !

Absolutely fantastic, well worth the money. Literally no noise from the top end, no pinging, nothing at all. Tuning has never been so enjoyable. Massive upgrade to the stock nut on my 2013 Squire Strat
