Detail 01
1-3/4 inch nut width
Overall length across the neck. A 1-11/16 inch neck leaves this overhanging on both sides and needing sanding to length.

Graph TechTUSQ Tacoma Slotted Acoustic Guitar Nut Ivory 1 3/4"
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A pre-slotted TUSQ nut shaped for Tacoma acoustics, 1-3/4 inch wide. For replacing a chipped, worn, or badly slotted original.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Tacoma owners replacing a cracked or slot-worn factory nut
- Open-string buzz traced to slots filed too deep
- Skipping the slot-cutting step of a nut replacement
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Necks that aren't 1-3/4 inch at the nut without reshaping
- Players wanting custom string spacing — slot positions are fixed
- Anyone unwilling to remove a glued nut without chipping finish
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
E-to-E spacing 1-7/16 inch
How far apart the outer strings sit. Wider spacing gives fingerstyle players more room but leaves less margin at the fretboard edge.
Detail 03
Slotted
String slots are already cut, so no spacing layout or slot filing. You still fit the base and check final slot depth.
Detail 04
TUSQ
Uniform density top to bottom, unlike bone with its soft and hard spots. Shapes with ordinary files and sandpaper.
Detail 05
Tacoma profile
Cut to that brand's nut shelf. Other makers vary in shelf length and thickness, so a swap onto another guitar means reshaping.
Detail 06
Ivory/white finish
Matches the usual acoustic binding and bridge pin color rather than standing out as black or graphite grey.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your existing nut's width, height and thickness — 'Tacoma' is a shape, not a guarantee
- 02Removing a glued nut can lift finish; score the joint first or use a tech
- 03No glue, files, or shims included; expect to sand the base for action
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a guitar that isn't a Tacoma?
Only if the dimensions line up. Check nut width against 1-3/4 inch and compare the shelf length and thickness. Otherwise you're sanding it down to fit, which is doable but slower.
02Do I still have to file the slots?
The slots are cut, but depth is set for a generic setup. After fitting, check first-fret clearance on each string and deepen only where an open string rings high or buzzes.
03Is TUSQ better than bone?
It's more consistent. Bone varies piece to piece with soft spots that wear unevenly; TUSQ is uniform, so slot wear and shaping are predictable. Bone is the traditional choice.
04How is the nut held in place?
String pressure does most of it, with a small drop of glue to keep it from moving during string changes. Use the minimum — a heavy glue joint makes the next replacement a repair job.
