Traditionally, guitar nuts and saddles are made from natural materials with inconsistent hardness. This inconsistency can affect the tonal response and vibration transfer. TUSQ was created to combat these problems. It has unique properties that bring numerous benefits to your guitar. TUSQ nuts come in different forms. Pre - slotted nuts are made for a wide range of guitars today. 6 - string nuts can accept various string gauges: 09 - 42 to 11 - 49 for electric guitars, 10 - 47 to 12 - 53 for acoustic guitars, and 40 - 95 or 50 - 105 for bass guitars. If your gauge is larger, just use the right nut file to modify the slots. Please Note: Graphtech products aim for a close fit, but each guitar is different. You may need to make minor alterations to length, height, and thickness for a perfect fit. When choosing a nut, check measurements carefully. If unsure, it's better to go slightly larger. Why is your guitar nut important? The nut is a crucial part of your guitar. A poorly - fitted nut can cause tuning, sustain, and performance problems. How do I know if I need to replace my guitar's nut? Nuts can get damaged, chipped, or worn over time. This can lead to playability, string breakage, and action issues. Changing string gauges or being unhappy with your guitar's tone are also reasons to consider a new nut.
