Graph TechTUSQ XL 12 String 3/16" Slotted Nut Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed specifically for 12-string guitars, this black TUSQ XL nut has 12 spaced and sized slots for the instrument’s double courses. The pre-slotted, pre-radiused design is made for a drop-in installation after the existing nut is removed and the mounting surface is cleaned. TUSQ provides a smooth surface for string movement, helping reduce sticking and buzzing, while its construction is described as supporting full, balanced tone, sustain, and clear intonation along the neck.
Strong match
Who this is for
- A 12-string nut replacement where pre-cut slots avoid cutting the string slots yourself.
- Installing a nut after cleaning the mounting surface and securing it with a drop of wood glue.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Six-string guitars, because this nut has 12 slots for 12-string double courses.
