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.

    Slick upgrade quality and easy to fit

    Great way to untangle the Floyd Rose issues and simplifying something very convoluted and complete. Nice change thanks

    That's awesome Jason! You absolutely nailed it - "untangling the Floyd Rose issues" is such a perfect way to describe what The Un-Lock Nut does. It's amazing how something so convoluted can become so simple with the right upgrade. Love that you found the install easy too - that's exactly what we were going for when we designed this solution. Thanks for the fantastic 5-star review! Dave D

    Why is anybody still using a locking nut?

    I've installed 2 of these - 1 on an old Kramer and 1 on an EVH standard. For the Kramer it was a "drop in" perfect fit. For the EVH standard I had to file the bottom of the nut a bit as it was a little too high. In my opinion, the Un-Lock nut + locking tuners is a much better experience than a locking nut. For me, it has the same stability as a locking nut - as long as I use the locking tuners correctly (no extra windings, straight path from nut to tuner). I no longer have to worry "bottoming out" the fine tuners on the bridge. In fact, I've ordered a Floyd Rose bridge without the fine tuners to give my picking hand more room.

    You've really figured out the sweet spot - Un-Lock nut with locking tuners is such a game changer! And ordering that Floyd without fine tuners is genius - more picking room and you don't need them anyway with this setup. Thanks for the fantastic review and showing others why this combo works so well! Dave D

    Perfect fit

    I replaced the FR locking nut on my Alex Lifeson Les Paul with the 12” radius Unlock nut, and it fit perfectly. I thought I would have to sand down the height to suit, but didn’t even have to do that, and the other dimensions were also perfect. Of course, for some guitars that leaves a risk that some shimming would be required, which would be a pain.

    I am so happy to not have to deal with the Allen screws for macro tuning, or the discomfort of the FR nut for some cowboy chords. I also replaced the Gibson tuners with Graph Tech Ratio Locking Tuners to maintain the overall tuning stability of the guitar, and so far so good.

    Plus, you know, (mostly) Canadian products eh!
