Self-lubricating Slotted String Nut for Martin-style Acoustics

The Graph Tech PT-M169-00 Black TUSQ XL slotted nut is made from a high-tech synthetic material known for its strong harmonic characteristics — 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. Even better, it's pre-slotted for hassle-free installation. The Black TUSQ XL nut is rated to outlast most nuts made from organic materials, which is why Sweetwater players have used them on their guitars for years.

Harmonically lively and slick as a whistle

The Black 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 Black TUSQ XL, you get structural integrity and consistent density that bone nuts just cannot offer. Plus, the Black TUSQ XL material is impregnated with the world’s third slickest known solid, PTFE, so your strings won’t stick in their slots.

Pre-slotted for quick installation

The Black TUSQ XL PT-M169-00 guitar nut comes pre-slotted to save you the hassle of measuring out string spacing and filing down string slots. Just install, restring, and you're ready to roll.

Graph Tech PT-M169-00 Black TUSQ XL Slotted Nut Features:

  • Upgrade/replacement nut for select Martin-style acoustic guitars
  • 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
