Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a chipped, worn, or buzzing original nut
  • Acoustics with a 1-11/16" nut width and Tacoma-profile slot
  • Players wanting consistent string spacing without hand-slotting from scratch

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Necks wider or narrower than 1-11/16" without heavy reshaping
  • Players unwilling to remove and glue in a nut
  • Anyone needing a compensated or zero-fret setup

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 01

1-11/16" nut width

Must match your neck. A different width leaves the E strings hanging off or crowded inward.

Detail 02

Pre-slotted

String slots are already cut, so you skip nut files. Depth still usually needs final adjustment.

Detail 03

1-7/16" E-to-E spacing

Distance between the outer strings. Sets how close the low and high E sit to the fretboard edges.

Detail 04

TUSQ material

A hard synthetic, denser and more uniform than bone, so string-to-string volume stays even.

Detail 05

Ivory color

Matches traditional bone and factory nuts. Won't stand out against a natural or sunburst headstock.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure your existing nut width and slot before ordering
  2. 02Removal usually needs a light tap and glue cleanup, plus fresh strings
  3. 03Slot depth often needs filing down for low action

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this fit my acoustic?

It fits necks with a 1-11/16" nut width and a matching slotted seat. Measure your current nut end to end before ordering.

02Do I need to file the slots?

The slots are pre-cut, but final depth depends on your neck relief and desired action. Most installs need some filing to avoid high action at the first fret.

03Is it glued in?

A nut is seated in its slot with a small amount of glue. Use very little so it can be removed later.

04How is TUSQ different from bone?

TUSQ is a synthetic with consistent density throughout. Bone varies piece to piece, with soft spots that can cause uneven string-to-string output.
