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.

    That's fantastic Paul! You nailed it perfectly. All the tuning stability most guitarists need without the headache of traditional locking nuts (Hey, if you are playing in a tribute band for Van Halen, yes, use a locking nut, otherwise, there is another way. :) Thanks for the awesome 5-star review!

    Un-Lock Nut - Fantastic Design

    I was unsure at just how good the Un-Lock Nut would be as a replacement for a traditional locking nut, but am happy to report that it has so far handled everything I've thrown at it, and retained the tuning perfectly. It's also very easy to install, which is a massive bonus.
