With TUSQ XL you will hear more richness from every note you play. One of the key causes of tuning frustration is string binding at the nut. TUSQ XL is impregnated with PTFE, the slipperiest substance on earth and alleviates the binding grip the nut has on the strings.

Good with slight reservations.
Reservations first. My Strat Fretboard is curved, so why not supply a curved on the underside Nut, so before doing anything else filing doesn’t have to be done. It was necessary to sandpaper off one face as well so the Nut fitted in the slot. Once the string slots had been widened and deepened slightly all was fine. Playing is very good. So all is good with this Nut.

Great upgrade
If you use your tremolo or have a nut the "pings" when you tune or bend a string, then you need one of these nuts. It helps keeps your guitar playing in tune and prevents and unwanted friction at the headstock end of your guitar. Nice cheap mod and surprisingly easy to fit - plenty of demo videos on Youtube on fitting, making this a no-brainer.

Definitely not a Tusq nut to crack!
Needed to replace the nut on my trusty Stratocaster and research suggested that the Tusq nut would be an excellent replacement. This has proved to be the case and after some sanding and shaping it fits and works like a charm. It has improved the tuning stability when I get a little exercised with the whammy bar!

Quality will tell in time
Careful fitting has given a good finish, tone and string height. Shape is spot on. Time will tell reference ware. Pleased with result.
