A very well performing tusq nut

This was a a very good upgrade from the plastic nut that was on my guitat prior to putting this one on. The performance is very good. I needed to sand it down a little to make it fit into the nut slot. Still needs a little more sanding down on one side so it will fit perfectly. I believe I am yet to see it perform a little better yet due to the fact that I put it on there with new strings, but did not glue it to the guitar yet. The only other factor standing in my way to make the performance of my guitar is to either get a new saddle and adjust the action, or to get a shim to raise the saddle a little and then adjust the truss rod to make the action of the strings the way I prefer it to be. I am using it in my Ibanez artwood AW54CE OPN. Even if my guitar isn't quite the way I would prefer it just yet, thanks graphtech for helping me on my way to playing a guitar with better performance.

Valuable product

Shipped incredibly fast from Canada to Europe. I measured the nut dimensions before ordered it and seems like I found the right one. It fits perfectly onto my Tokai LP. I just did a little sanding to smoothen the piece. Tuning stability is outstanding now.

Stays in tune so much better

I replaced the nut on my Ibanez AS73 semi hollow body and the difference is amazing. I did have to sand the nut to fit it in the same slot and also made the slots where the strings sit larger, just because the sting gauge I use is 10-52. I consider this fairly minor though. After not playing it for a week or so, I picked it up and it was perfectly in-tune still. That is an achievement for this guitar and it is a now a joy to play and resonates so much more. This is a very inexpensive upgrade compared to others but one that I will be making on all of my future guitars. I am really blown away by how much better the guitar is now.

Perfect fit (well, just a tiny bit of sanding...)

The Tusq XL was a just-about perfect fit in my Firefly FLSP. I did have to sand it down a little to get it to the right height, but of course that was the guitar's issue. The quality of the nut was WAY better than I expected, and I can actually tell a difference in sound and sustain with this nut. If I ever have another guitar that needs a nut replacement, I'll definitely get another, and recommend others as well!
