Graph Tech PT-4025-00 Black TUSQ XL Blank

I am a luthier and have been building guitars for 10 years now. I've used all sorts of materials for a nut, but my personal favorite would have to be Graph Tech. Looks great on a guitar, it's easy to work with - sands easily and the self-lubricating is no gimmick - never had a string break or get stuck - tonal transference is optimal - What's not to like about it.

This nut has no problems and increased by tuning stability by a lot

I noticed a decent improvement in the tone and sustain for open notes. My guitar is usually very warm sounding, so the nut brightened up a bit to my liking.

I needed something for my custom build 6-String bass with super long scale. The original bone nut worked fine but had to be lubricated from time to time. Compared to bone, the TUSQ XL material is harder and takes a bit more filing-effort to shape. Absolutely worth the extra effort and lubricates itself. Thumbs up!

its precise fit, improved tone, and increased sustain compared to other materials. Additionally, its black color adds a sleek and modern look to guitars. Overall, it's considered a worthwhile investment for upgrading or customizing guitar components.

Very greate upgrade for the stok ones for color and quality

Graph Tech TUSQ nuts are the best your money can buy!
I’ve never had a single string break since using these, after 15 years on multiple guitars!
The blank’s cool too as you can shape it exactly how you want 😊

My luthier used this on my Ibanez multiscale 8-string guitars
RGDMS8-CSM and RGMS8-BK
Fantastic quality and great for Extended Range guitars. Highly recommended.

One of best upgrades even on expansive guitar. Essential if you have an old guitar before cnc era when all nuts were slightly different
