The 5000-00 is a perfect option to replace and upgrade the nut in a lot of Fender-style electric guitars.

It will work in both a flat bottom or curved bottom nut slot due to its ingenious design, just sand off the tab for a curved bottom.

As a general rule of thumb... (it's never 100%, there are always exceptions, but...)


  • If the Fender spec sheet says “Modern C” neck and doesn’t call it “vintage”, assume 9.5" radius.

  • If it’s marketed as “Vintera, American Vintage, Road Worn, ’50s/’60s correct”, expect 7.25" unless they explicitly say otherwise. (our 5072-00 model  has a 7.25" radius)

  • American Standard / American Series / American Special / American Performer / American Pro (I & II) / Player / Player II Strats & Teles are all 9.5".

It is pre-slotted to make for a quick and easy install.

9.5" Radius.

 

PQL-5000-AG - nut has an "aged" look to match the vintage look of your guitar.

What is the Difference in TUSQ Materials?

TUSQ

TUSQ nuts have a rich tone without the inconsistency found in ivory, bone, and other natural materials. Bone and ivory have hard and soft spots (grain) throughout each piece, hampering the consistent transfer of vibrations to the guitar top. TUSQ nuts are designed to transfer the right frequencies more efficiently from the string to the guitar body.

Best for Acoustic Guitars.

TUSQ XL and Black TUSQ XL

TUSQ XL and Black TUSQ XL nuts are designed to boost guitar tone and performance. These precision-engineered nuts are made with a specially formulated material that couples the strings' vibrations to the neck and brings out the hidden harmonics and richness in every note. It is based on the highly resonant TUSQ man-made ivory but is permanently lubricated to improve the tuning performance of the guitar.

Best for Electric Guitars and BASS.

    Great product

    Once you take out the little bump in the middle, you have a spot on 9.5" radi nut that is a great fit for Fender's AM Series strats.

    Great improvement.

    a Nut for my Tele

    Hello there! I ordered a couple of above mentioned nuts. Their quality is perfect in my opinion. My order was delivered in about three weeks. I am thinking to order another couple nuts for my LPC and Terry McInturff Taurus. I will definitely recommend such kind of nuts. Easy to get and easy to install.
