Detail 01
Slotted, not blank
String slots are already cut, so you skip the hardest part of the job. Slot depth still usually needs final filing.

Graph TechTUSQ Epiphone 1/4" slotted nut
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A pre-slotted TUSQ replacement nut cut to Epiphone dimensions, for players swapping out a worn, cracked, or badly slotted stock nut.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a chipped or worn nut on an Epiphone-spec neck
- Players comfortable removing and gluing in a nut themselves
- Fixing string binding or buzz traced to the nut
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars with nut slots wider or narrower than 1-3/4 inch
- Anyone wanting a drop-in part with zero fitting work
- Players who need custom string spacing
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
1-3/4 inch length
This is the width across the fretboard. Measure your existing nut end to end before buying.
Detail 03
0.242 inch thickness
Front-to-back dimension sitting in the neck slot. Too thick means sanding, too thin means gaps.
Detail 04
1-3/8 inch E-to-E spacing
Sets how far the outer strings sit from the fretboard edges. Different spacing changes how the neck feels under your fingers.
Detail 05
0.362 inch height
Taller than final height on most necks, so expect to sand the bottom to set action at the first fret.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your current nut length, thickness and height first, all three must match
- 02Nut files or sandpaper needed; slot depth is rarely correct straight from the box
- 03No glue included. A small dab is enough, never flood the slot
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Epiphone?
Only if your nut measures 1-3/4 inch long and roughly 0.242 inch thick. Epiphone specs vary across models and years, so measure the nut on your guitar.
02Do I still need to file the slots?
Usually yes. The slots are cut but depth is left high so you can lower each one to your preferred first-fret action without cutting too deep.
03Can I install this myself?
If you can tap out the old nut cleanly and sand a flat bottom, yes. If the old nut is glued hard or the slot is chipped, take it to a tech.
04How is it held in place?
It sits in the neck slot with a small amount of glue. String tension does most of the holding work. Glue is not included.
