TUSQ Nut by Graph Tech Model # 6060-00 Slotted 1/4" Epiphone Style

I bought a left-handed flying V a couple weeks ago. I play with the string's setup for a right-handed player. yep, I'm weird, but that's how I learned. With that I need to either use glue and files to fix the current nut or just buy a righty nut. I opted for replacement. This nut, with a little sanding (slot was a little smaller than this new nut), it dropped right in. I do like the idea of permanent lubrication too, so there you go! Thanks guys.

This nut added another level of tone quality from the stock nut on my 2012 Epiphone ES-339 Pro guitar. Notes now have a richer musicality...the nut removed muddiness from all pitch frequencies.

The TUSQ was a slightly oversized height which allowed me to shave the bottom to my preference. Ends also needed a small trim (.010-.015) to flush with neck.

I have used a Graphtec Black Tusq nut on a friend's electric guitar with surprisingly good results, so when all of my personal and highly modified guitars were stolen,

I was left with an old project Acoustic /Electric guitar to play if I can resurrect it from what most people would consider trash !

This provides me with the opportunity to install and test mods I have done for other people on a guitar I will use myself.

The plenary installation of the nut and Ratio Tuning Macines were a snap and turned out well. I am at the point that I need to do some very minor shaping on the nut to integrate it smoothly with the neck.

Then I can start roughing in the action.

I am excited to get this guitar playable but it's going so well so far that I don't want to rush it!
