Graph TechTUSQ Jumbo XL Blank Nut Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for a custom guitar setup, this black TUSQ Jumbo XL blank starts without slots so a luthier or technician can shape it around the neck profile, string spacing, gauge, and action required. Its self-lubricating TUSQ material is designed to let strings move freely during bends and vibrato, while delivering balanced tone and ringing harmonics. It is a setup component rather than a ready-to-install replacement.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Custom nut work where slot spacing, string gauge, and action need to be cut for one guitar.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Direct replacement jobs that require a nut already shaped and slotted.
