FenderBullet Truss Rod Nut
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement bullet-style truss rod nut for Fender necks that adjust at the headstock. A repair part, not an upgrade.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a stripped or rounded-out truss rod nut on a Fender neck
- Techs keeping common Fender repair parts on hand
- Restoring a neck where the original nut is missing
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Necks that adjust at the heel rather than the headstock
- Anyone expecting a tone or playability change — this is hardware
- Players not comfortable working inside a truss rod channel
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Truss rod nut
The threaded piece the truss rod wrench turns. Strips before the rod does, which is why it's replaceable.
Detail 03
Fender part
Cut to Fender's thread pitch and rod diameter, so it matches necks built around that spec.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your truss rod's thread pitch and diameter before ordering — Fender used several
- 02Strings must come off and the rod be fully de-tensioned to swap it
- 03No wrench included; bullet nuts take a specific hex size
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit any Fender neck?
Only necks built for a bullet-style headstock adjuster. Heel-adjust necks and other thread specs need a different nut.
02Can I install this myself?
It's a straightforward swap if you're comfortable de-tensioning a truss rod and working at the headstock. Otherwise a tech should do it.
03Why would I need a new truss rod nut?
Usually because the original stripped from over-tightening or a poorly fitting wrench, leaving the rod unadjustable.
04Does this come with a wrench?
No. You'll need the correct hex wrench for bullet nuts separately.
