Musiclily Basic 42mm Flat Bottom Bone Slotted Electric Guitar Nut for 6 String Strat Tele Style, 42x3.5x4.5/3.5mm (Set of 2)

This is a copy of Tusq 5000-00 but it's bone so it is 1/4 the price and sounds better and you don't inhale plastic when cutting it. You inhale the essence of the beast. The diagram is dumb, it shows 35.5 mm E to E but it's the outside of the slots. Standard measurement for string spacing is from the center of the slots. So it is 35.1 just like the Tusq it's based on. It's a perfect width for a Charvel. The stock Tusq for those is about 35.3 which puts the string a little too close to the edge 35.1 is better for that but it still feels like it's extra wide, as most 43mm aftermarket nuts are 35.0. I also think the pre-cut slot radius greater than 9.5 which is good because that's how it's supposed to be in the end if you've done a good job. Any competent manufacturer would do this instead of matching 9.5 exactly. Tusq does that and it's just dumb. I just wish they'd omit the stupid center nub that adapts the nut to a flat slot. NOBODY would ever buy a new nut just to have it not sitting flush on the floor of the slot. Another thing Tusq does wrong.

This bone nut worked great for me. I used to get the unbleached nuts from another seller but I didn’t like the color. It blended into the maple fingerboard too easily so I bought these, which I think stand out a bit more. It took to my nut slot files very well, sanded down, and polished to a high gloss shine. It was the perfect size being just a smidge larger in both directions, which allowed me to custom fit it to a snug fit into my guitar’s slot with just a few swipes of sandpaper. Overall it worked great, looks great, and most importantly sounds great.

Good quality. Know how to shape and fit or buy pre slotted nut.

This nut fits my Squier/China-made Strat correctly, and the string spacing matches the original nut on that guitar. However, this 42 mm nut is too narrow for an American Strat. American Stratocasters use a wider nut and wider string spacing than this part. On my Squier Strat, the nut required a small shim (about two layers of paper) to achieve proper nut height and eliminate open-string buzz. After shimming, it plays well and first-position chords are comfortable. If you’re buying this for a Squier or China-made Strat-style guitar, it should be a good fit with normal setup work. If you’re buying it for a USA Strat, you’ll need a wider nut than this. The listing does not clearly distinguish between import and USA specifications, so measuring before ordering is important.

Good fit minimal sanding. Slots did not need filling. Sounds great

great replacement nuts

I ended up having to carve this down, maybe a a few thousandths on the thickness, a millimeter on width, and couple millimeters on height. I understand having it be a bit too big to allow it to be adapted for use but i basically had to shape it from scratch with all the dimensioning. Should be much shorter, no one has a fretboard that tall.

My Agile 3010se (les paul type) was ordered online. It came with an extemely high tusq nut. I was afraid to remove it so i tried to file it down and recut the nut slots while on the guitar. It worked for awhile till a buzz started on low E. The neck relief was perfect so i decided to try to repace the nut. it came off easily with a tap on a wood block. The bone nut from this vendor was perfect width and length for the dimensions i measured with a caliper on the old tusq nut. The base of the nut required a lot of sanding and it is very tough material. see you tube for how to's and check often on quitar with tension on e strings...It came out very nice .024 fret1 lo E .010 hi E....Sounds great better than tusq, tuning is ez and stable . Not super ez but doable with some sandpaper and feeler gauge. Nut slots were perfect for 10-46 strings..very happy with results

Pack of 2 guitar nuts were perfectly suited for my guitars. After a little sanding and shaping, the nut is nice and snug and perfectly stable without glue (NOT recommended, I just didn't have the correct viscosity of Superglue for the job, but they will be getting glued in very shortly). The nut slots are not cut very deep, so the strings are held a good distance from the fretboard and will allow for plenty of wear. This means little to no string buzz on the lower frets, but if you need the slots a bit deeper they can easily be filed deeper with a nut file. If you're replacing a nut by yourself, be advised there are no instructions included,so you should already know what you will, and what you may, need to do. That said, I would still advise caution, the nut is more delicate than I anticipated, and will not withstand rough handling, so go gently. If you think the fit is a little tight, but you can gently tap the nut into place, you are wrong, it WILL break (trust me, it will break). If the fit is too tight, sand the nut down some more (always on the back side) until it fits properly. DO NOT force it into place, the fit should be snug rather than tight and it's not meant to be hammered in (apart from anything else, it makes it much harder to get back out again when it eventually needs replaced). These are perfectly good for the purpose they are designed for, when they are back in stock I will definitely be buying more. You never know when you will break or wear out a nut (and you will do eventaully), and I have another, brand new, guitar where the nut slots have been cut too deep at the factory. I don't want to use the old Superglue and Bicarb trick, at best it's only a temprary repair, so I prefer to just replace the whole nut. It's only a fiver for 2 nuts at the end of the day. Curiously, the decription states the nut is made of bone but the packaging stated it was plastic. However, the nut I broke did not break the way plastic normally does, it had no felxibility in it, so I think they are actually bone nuts.

Buena calidad. Instalada en una Les Paul haciendo alguna modificación.

Comprato per sostituire il capotasto in plasticaccia di una EKO S-300 del 1995 che tagliava i cantini come una lama di damasco. Premesso che la chitarra di destinazione non è di suo un capolavoro, il capotasto ha effettivamente migliorato anche il suono dello strumento, ma il pezzo originale era stato fatto proprio per fare suonare male lo strumento. Estremamente facile il montaggio, ha richiesto poco lavoro per la regolazione da parte del liutaio. Come tutti i prodotti musiclily, buona qualità a prezzo contenuto.

Deux sillets en os très bien usinés et parfaitement adapté pour les guitares Yamaha de série LL ! Je suis très contant car cette une dimension rare que l'on trouve difficilement ...

Bien que 44 mm, les saignées sont trop large pour ma guitare "Vintage". Heureusement que le sillet est suffisemment haut pour le retravailler et refaire le passage des 6 cordes. C'est bien de l'os et pas du plastique.
