## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the differnce between this and 5010-00, they are both listed for Fender Strat?**
A: The 42mm flat bottom nut is narrower (this dimension is listed as length) compared to the 5010-00 which is 1.764" or 44.81mm. The 42mm or 1.65" is intended to fit import Fender and Squier models and is made of standard Tusq material whereas the 5010-00 is made of TusqXL which is teflon impregnated and permanently lubricated thus the higher price. Keep in mind, they tend make them a little long so you can sand the ends flush with your fingerboard.

**Q: Will this fit 7.25 radius necks?**
A: My opinion is no.  I think I used this on a 12" radius strat neck. Check the graphtech website. It will give you a better idea which one will fit.  I don't know if they make 7.5" radius nut for strats/teles.  You may have to try a 9.5" radius one and sand the bottom to the radius of your fretboard. I have put graphtech nuts on all of my fender guitars. It is an upgrade.

**Q: My nut dimensions are 42mm wide, 3.5mm thick and 5mm tall. Will this work?**
A: It say the length is 42mm or 1.65 " so that is what you want. This nut fits The import Strat's, and Tele's, like Squire.

**Q: Is this nut size available in a tusq xl version?**
A: It says the Nut is 42mm in length and it fits import Strat's and Tele's like the Squire.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really does improve tone and sustain.
*by R***S on 14 September 2024*

I have fitted Tusq nuts to all my Guitars and to those of friends. My Les Pauls have also got white Tusq saddles. My Telecaster and Stratocaster have the Tusq nut.What I get is a very noticable increase in Tone, Sustain, and overall "more alive" feeling with greater touch sensitivity. They bring out MORE of what the guitar has. They make an already great sounding guitar awesome, and a dull one great. Although I'm not a luthier, I am able to fit them myself with a minimum of tools, but would advise anyone who isn't confident with their ability to do it themselves to get a professional to do it for them. Look at it like this....... You've made a big investment in your guitar/amp etc. why not spend a bit more to get the VERY best from it. I am in no way connected with anyone who makes or sells Tusq, I'm a Guitarist who just wants others to gain from my own experience and pass on what I Know from actual personal experience. Happy plucking all.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great replacement guitar nut
*by L***R on 18 January 2025*

I usually replace my guitar nuts with Graphtech. Easy to work with and seem to help with tuning stability.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect fit for Squier SE Strat
*by S***M on 6 April 2023*

Bought this nut to replace the original nut in a 2000s Squier SE Strat with 22 frets (full thickness body).The old nut came straight out with little effort leaving a clean nut slot. This was an almost straight replacement, it was just a tiny bit too thick to drop in.The old nut was 3.17mm thick, the Graphtech nut was 3.22mm; it just needed a bit of sanding to take off 0.05mm. Then it dropped in for a snug fit, no glue required to hold in place. String spacing is perfect, and no slot filing required, string heights are pretty much spot on. No other shaping required.Performance is excellent so far, just as expected.
