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.

    Great nut! File off the bottom, rather than the slots, if possible

    Replaced the nut on my guitar which had an older TUSQ XL on it that had been adjusted a few times.

    I was hoping for better tuning stability by using the factory slots as best as possible, by filing/sanding the bottom of the nut to adjust height rather than the slots

    Tuning stability is definitely improved.

    Tone was also improved. Though I assume that was largely due to a more snug and precise fit to the guitar nut 'slot'. For a snug fit, I placed small strips of sandpaper on the guitar slot and sanded the nut in place, in case there were any irregularities or the slot was not perfectly square (which it wasn't).

    Fit my Jackson JS22.

    I love graph tech nuts on my guitars with 2 point or 6 point vintage tremolo. Combined with locking tuners, the extra self lubrication and smoothness of the graph tech nuts really keep everything in tune when using a trem. Good stuff!

    Perfect for upgrading that old guitar.

    I was fixing up an old guitar (les paul type). Not sure what the old nut was made of, but it looked like it was melting. Ordered this graph teck nut and it was definitely a excellent upgrade. A little sanding to get the height correct and the old girl sings.. Would recommend to everyone.!!
