Self-lubricating Slotted String Nut Material

The Graph Tech TUSQ XL slotted nut uses a dense, high-tech material that features strong harmonic characteristics such as focused lows and bell-like highs to bring your guitar tone back to life. The self-lubricating design (impregnated with PTFE) prevents your strings from binding at the nut, ensuring strong tuning stability — and it's pre-slotted for hassle-free installation. The TUSQ XL will outlast most nuts made from organic materials, and that's why Sweetwater players have been using it for years on their non-locking tremolo guitars.

Harmonically lively and slick as a whistle

The TUSQ XL nut material is laboratory tested and proven to provide up to 200% more harmonic resonance and up to 16% longer sustain than bone nuts. With the TUSQ XL, you get structural integrity and consistent density that bone nuts just cannot offer. Plus, the TUSQ material is impregnated with the world’s third slickest known solid, PTFE, so your strings won’t stick in their slots. The TUSQ XL is a first-choice replacement part.

Pre-slotted for your six-string electric guitar neck

Measuring 42mm x 6mm, this Black TUSQ XL is the perfect option for replacing the nut on your 6-string guitar neck. It’s perfectly sized and pre-slotted, so you won’t have to spend your valuable time filing down those string slots. That leaves you more time for making music!

Black TUSQ XL 42mm x 6mm Slotted Nut Features:

  • Upgrade/replacement nut for your 6-string guitar neck
  • Renowned TUSQ material is impregnated with super-slick PTFE for enhanced tuning stability
  • Outlasts most nuts made from organic materials
  • Increased harmonic resonance and sustain over bone nuts
  • Pre-slotted for your convenience

Best 42mm tusq nut
Best 42mm tusq nut for ESP/LTD eclispe guitars, I installed it on my LTD 401 eclispe & LTD 1001 eclipse and it's great! I recommend this product for the ESP eclipses!
perfect fit for your ESP/LTD
The Tusq nuts fit great, feel great and my action is even better than before. These nuts are cut in a way that give you the lowest possible action you could really hope to get and still get clean notes. Notes die out more gradually and naturally than the old plastic nut, so that's a major reason I think these nuts are definitely not "snake oil". If you get one of these and your guitar is still having issues (be it tuning stability or notes fretting out), chances are, you have high frets somewhere and/or you need to change your bridge saddles to something with less friction.
