KAISHCurved 42mm Unbleached Pure Bone Nut Guitar Slotted Bone Nut for Strat/Tele 42x3.2mm

Nice fit

Looks great, fit the slot perfect! Thanks!

Wish would have come with a shim as seen included by others, all set at high just barely worked out on my Ovation, will need to make my own shim to eliminate random fret buzz at certain tunings

It's better than the silver Guyker 42mm one that looks like the Kaynes (gold). This one (Kaynes) has individual screws for each string on my Tele that go down more than enough. The Guyker's screws don't go down nearly enough on my Tele. Also, the Kaynes come with 2 flat slabs to adjust the height so you can adjust the fit to your Tele, the Guyker one didn't come with any flat slabs to adjust the nut to your Tele..

I installed this on my Fender special edition HH FMT. As mentioned by others, the piece had sharp edges that required attention. I also had to file the bottom a bit to obtain the correct height. I chose to do this as opposed to deepening the nut slot. The fit was such that I did not need to adhere it with glue. It is held by string tension. It took a bit of playing around to get the individual strings to the desired height. But once I got the hang of it the task went quickly.Sound quality is brighter, which may not suit some players. The strings stay in tune as well as the plastic nut that I replaced.All in all, I like it and will order this again for my other guitars.

I have an old Epi LP Pro 100 that I have never been able to get the intonation right on. New bridges, tail pieces, a bone nut, a Tusq nut (both of which I thought were properly cut, clearly not,) countless truss rod adjustments.....but nothing would completely nail down the tuning. I could get close, but maybe a bit off on the first 7 or 8 fretted notes, so....untuned. And frustrating.I took a chance on this, not having very high hopes. It arrived on time, and upon first observation, my hopes were slightly emboldened as it seemed to be cut very precisely. And it definitely had some mass to it.I loosened the strings (just put on less than a week ago) cleaned out the nut slot with a small file, and placed in this nut. Perfect, tight fit on the front and bottom. Even the width was perfect. No overhang to bite your hand while playing. I wasn't sure how to set the screw height to begin with, so I adjusted every screw to nearly its maximum height with the intention of working down. Ran the strings through the grooves in each screw, tuned up to pitch. Spent maybe 10 minutes fine tuning......then, at last, sweet intonation.Every string, every fret......even the dreaded first fret tuning was dead on. As far as the sound? It might be slightly brighter.....or it might be me expecting it to be brighter.....either way, it sounds good. I can't tell much sonic difference between this and bone.Also, you can get your action super low too, if that's your deal.Glad I gave it a shot. High return on a small investment.

The tone is not as bright as some of my other cattle bone nuts- but to find one for my specific needs is tough, they say 3.5mm mine was 3.54, a perfect fit for me. String spacing is almost 35mm. Without canding the base it brought the string height at the 1st fret to 1mm. The color was-- odd and took staining with about 10 minutes of soaking in warm coffee. But you can see in the images.. meh- I'll keep it on for now.

I used this to replace my stock American Made Stratocaster neck nut. You will need to shape it to get it to fit right--so you need tools and a bit of skill. I have a workshop so no biggie for me.It will require you to take off about .25mm from the back (don't sand the "factory flat part, the side closest to the pickups, sand the back part closest to the tuners). On my neck, the factory nut curved with the radius of the neck . So I use the original nut as a template to mark this one so I knew how much to remove and how shape the curve. I used a Dremel (to remove mostly in the middle) and then carefully with 120 grit sandpaper to work with the bone to fit. I took my time and I am very pleased with the results.What I like the most (to my surprise) is how well the sting slots are cut. The spacing is dead on except for the 1E string, which is more "centered." This worked to my favor because I felt like the stock string spacing was to close to the edge and I did not like where it put my 1E. Not anymore, its perfect. Lastly, I use heavy top/light bottom strings (.52-.10). On the stock nut the 6E would not fit down and as snug as I wanted. I was planning on siling this nut to accommodate, but to my surprise, there was NO NEED. I easily used the .52 string to remove just enough for a perfect fit. In fact, I would say that all of my strings fit better in this nut.With a .05 degree reverse/shim added, and complete string setup, my strat build is finally complete. This is a great nut and I would recommend it to anyone who has the tools and time to figure out how to install it.
