## Description

graphtech black tusq xl nut - slotted st style

Review: Great! - What I didn't know is that you CAN get this tusk XL nut in the ivory colour! But I kinda like the black now it's in... It didn't affect my tone that I could hear, the last one was just plain tusk, not the XL. Where I used pencil graphite to keep the strings moving. Of course with XL it's intrinsically self lubricating via what it's made of. This particular nut is pretty cool because you may not know if you have a flat or round bottom without removing the old nut. Well I work out, so I have a flat bottom. Where you just leave the tab on. If you have a round bottom, you can easily file the tab off. One thing! If you have a flat bottom, then with this nut, not all of your bottom will touch the timber. This when Graphtech say that their nuts have better tone because there's no cavities in them, like with bone etc. Well, with this nut you have two big cavities either side of the tab? Okay so, on my Strat this is the third nut, the first, the original nut was plastic and it was hollow!! It was okay... The next was one of these but just tusk not XL. It improved the tone!! The current one is the XL the tone didn't seem to change? Context: I also have the Graphtech metal body saddles with PTFE inserts. Now those DID improve the tone to a surprising degree! They put a smile on my face. And they are GREAT! Hardly any string breakages, more stable tuning. I think that the nuts don't notice as much because when fretting you aren't playing through the nut. You're playing from fret to saddle? And .. Concider Floyd Rose Guitars! They have a metal nut, and they still have great tone. So, will I buy the flat bottom version ? No... I'm happy with this one. I think that the flat bottom would only amount to a teeny improvement when playing open strings. I think that Graphtech are a great company! They don't make false claims, and they really believe in their products, I saw one of the founders on line. It's refreshing! So... That's it my review... Where I'll just say it one more time 'bottom' 😅

Worked well

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A simple and worthwhile upgrade.
*by G***C on 7 February 2019*

Tuning stability is noticeably better since fitting this nut to my 1998 Stratocaster. Plus the black colour matches the body. A small touch but it does look cool! I didn't need to do any work on the string guide slots. Instead I carefully sanded down the underside of the nut until it was the right height. Recommended for even the most timid would-be luthier. This is genuinely an upgrade anyone can do.
