TUSQ XL is a proprietary material precision engineered under high pressure and heat. It is impregnated with PTFE throughout so it reduces the friction between the nut material and the string. It is specifically formulated to deliver the right freque
Due to TUSQ XL’s consistency, it is extremely easy to work with. You can easily modify it with fine grit sandpaper or other commonly used shaping tools.
The biggest difference is that TUSQ XL is impregnated with PTFE; the lubrication prevents strings from binding in the slots. TUSQ is not. You get better tuning stability, especially when using a tremolo or bending strings. TUSQ XL also has a midrange
PTFE is impregnated throughout our nuts, so its lubricating properties will never wear out.
If you’re experiencing any binding, you can easily fold a piece of 200 Grit sandpaper and sand the notch off. Again, being a consistent material, you can file/sand the nut/saddle and still work with the same quality material.
TUSQ XL is a very resonant material. This resonance alone will give you a full and deep sound that will amplify your tone to a new level. Secondly, it's a consistent material, allowing every note you play to sound just as clear and full as the next
We probably have a nut that either fits perfectly or is close. The best thing to do is measure your nut for length, thickness, height and, E-E spacing. Pay close attention to the E-to-E spacing, then check your measurements with the ones on our site.
A quality nut will improve the tonal quality of your guitar when playing open strings. It will also improve the performance of your guitar by reducing string binding and improving tuning stability.
With the spacer tab in, the PT-5000 fits many Strat and Tele styles guitars that have a flat-bottomed nut slot. By removing the spacer (by filing, grinding or cutting) it will fit original Fender, G&L-style curved bottomed nut slots. We also have a n
On a new Graph Tech nut, it's recommended that you sand the bottom of the nut to compensate for the height rather than carve the guitar. You can then fine tune the height of each string, if necessary, with nut files or, in a pinch, a piece of 400 gri
For holding a Graph Tech nut in place, use a thin coat of white wood glue, such as Elmers. Using a cyanoacrylate glue, like super glue, can cause some damaged if you every wanted to change out the nut in the future, as it may take a bit of the wood
Yes, acetone can be safely used to remove cyanoacrylate (CA) glue residues from TUSQ material without damaging it. However, we do recommend using a white wood glue. like Elmers, when installing any nut. Cyanoacrylate (CA) can bond too tightly with
