Detail 01
Pre-slotted

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
Trem-specific design
Slots are cut so strings return to pitch after trem use instead of catching and going sharp or flat.
Detail 03
Stratocaster fit
Length and curved bottom match Strat neck slots. Other body shapes usually need a different nut profile.
Detail 04
SSS-oriented spacing
String spacing follows standard Strat layout, so it lines up with the stock bridge and pickups.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Old nut must be knocked out — expect glue and possible finish chipping
- 02Final slot depth and nut height need filing to your string gauge
- 03Nut only. No files, glue, or strings included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Strat without modification?
It's shaped for a Strat slot, but nut jobs are rarely fully drop-in. Plan on sanding the bottom and easing slot depth for correct action at the first fret.
02Do I need to glue it in?
A small dot of glue is standard. String tension holds it in place, so heavy adhesive only makes future removal harder.
03Will this help my tuning stability with the trem?
It helps if the old nut was pinching strings. If your problem is at the tuners, string trees, or trem springs, a new nut won't fix it.
04Does it work with heavier string gauges?
The slots are cut for standard gauges. Moving to heavier strings means widening slots with the correct-size files.
