FenderNut Blanks for Vintage Strat / Tele
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Unslotted nut blanks for vintage-style Strat and Tele necks. For techs and hobbyists who shape and slot their own nuts.
Strong match
Who this is for
- A tech cutting a nut to a specific player's string gauge
- Replacing a worn nut on a vintage-spec Strat or Tele
- Setting up a left-handed or unusual string spacing yourself
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants a drop-in part with slots already cut
- Players without nut files or slotting experience
- Modern wide-radius or locking-nut necks
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
Vintage Strat/Tele sizing
Matched to vintage-spec neck slots. Modern necks can use different widths, so measure your existing nut first.
Detail 03
Sold as a blank
Also means excess height and length to sand down — fitting takes files, sandpaper and patience, not minutes.
Detail 04
Fender part
Starts you close to factory dimensions, so most of the work is slotting rather than reshaping the whole blank.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01You need nut files in your string gauges plus sandpaper — none included
- 02Measure your old nut's length, height and thickness before ordering
- 03Slots cut too deep cause open-string buzz and can't be undone
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Are the string slots already cut?
No. This is a blank. You cut and space the slots yourself, which is why it suits techs and experienced hobbyists.
02Will it fit a modern Stratocaster?
It's specified for vintage Strat and Tele. Modern necks may use different nut dimensions — measure your existing nut before ordering.
03Can a beginner install this?
Only with nut files and time. Cutting slots at the right depth is the hard part, and mistakes mean starting over.
04Do I need to glue it in?
A nut is normally seated with a small amount of adhesive so it stays put but can be removed later. Nothing is included here.
