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.

    A great solution to a common problem!

    For those of us who have moved to locking tuners, this is a great solution for removing the now-unnecessary locking nut! A little sanding and it fit perfectly on the shelf, with better string height than my locking nut ever had.

    Exceeds expectations!

    This nut works very well! The tuning remains quite stable even when doing drastic moves with the vibrato bar. I don't use my Floyd Rose much so it is nice to be able to use the main tuners.

    Works but exposes design flaws.

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with the workmanship of the nut. However, there should be an option to use the existing mounting screws from the back side of the neck. There are holes in the nut but they are too small and not threaded. This is especially important for Jackson and Kramer guitars where the strings are not pulling perpendicular to the nut. I could not get the glue to hold the nut in place as there was too much sideways pressure once the instrument was tuned to pitch. This is a fault of the headstock design not the nut itself. Works great on Fender, Ibanez and other style guitars that pull straight across the nut.
