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

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

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.

The PT-5000-00 is also available in a convenient luthier 10-pack (LT-5000-10).

 

TUSQ nuts and saddles have rich tones 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, saddles, and bridge pins are designed to transfer the right frequencies more efficiently from the string to the guitar body.


 

TUSQ XL is designed to boost guitar tone and performance. This precision-engineered nut is 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 impregnated with PTFE to improve the tuning performance of the guitar.

    Great product

    Installed on a 2011 American Special Strat, entire job took 15 minutes. Tuning definitely more stable with the trem. The string spacing is perfect, slightly more than 1 3/8”. This nut will be installed on the rest of my guitars - it’s that good.

    NUT

    Took less than 30 minutes to sand and install.

    Replaced a broken bone nut after a fall in my fender mustang, first time trying a tusq nut and it was noticeably brighter and more 'open or airy' while using the same exact strings.

    Some players might want an above the nut wrap because of that extra chime and harmonic noise, but to me it sounds less dulled compared to bone and especially plastic nuts

    Replacement nut for 1957 Hot Rod reissue Strat.

    With just a little bit of sanding it fit perfectly in my 57 reissue Strat. I highly recommend.

    Great nut!

    I've been using Tusq nuts for about 10 years now. They are definitely my first choice when it comes to replacing nuts. I have them installed in 4 guitars and 3 basses. Those guitars and basses stay in tune better than the rest of my guitars. Coincidence? I don't think so.
