Graphtech PQ-5000-00 Slotted Tusq Nut Curved Bottom for Stratocaster / Telecaster etc..

Hear the difference a TUSQ nut can make

If you have an acoustic or electric guitar, you owe it to yourself to hear what TUSQ can do. Compared to standard materials such as bone, micarta or corian, you’ll hear more harmonics with every note you play. TUSQ has quickly become an important tone performance tool for some of the world’s most renowned guitar manufacturers, luthiers and playing professionals.

Unlike ivory, bone and other natural materials, TUSQ delivers rich tone and sustain without inconsistency. Bone and ivory have hard and soft spots (grain) throughout each piece, which hampers consistent transfer of vibrations to the guitar top. TUSQ nuts, saddles and bridge pins are precisely engineered to transfer the right frequencies more efficiently from the string to the guitar body — so your guitar comes alive.
