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.

    simply the best premade nut in the market

    Easy to install, just minimal sanding required. The pre-slotted string spacing is just perfect, which made finishing cutting the nut a breeze.

    Happy customer!

    My guitar sounds better. The open strings ring like bells. My guitar intonated really well. The tuning stability is better. I can dive the tremolo all the way down to the body and when it returns the guitar remains in tune. No locking tremolo, no locking tuners, just this self lubricating nut.

    Great nut! Lol

    There’s not a lot of fender style 12” nuts out there, but this is probably the best I’ve found. Great stuff !

    GraphTech TUSQ XL ... is the only nut I buy now.

    There's a lot to recommend GraphTech's chemical composition. Consistent tone, lubricating properties, plus all the size and style offerings. The little bottom nub giving you dual options for your flat or rounded nut slots, it's a very useful touch. Yes, it's slightly more expensive and it takes a lot longer to get from Canada to the US East Coast but you do get what you pay for ... a high quality product you can count on.
