Graph TechTUSQ XL Fender Style Slotted Nut LEFTY
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A pre-slotted left-handed TUSQ XL nut in Fender dimensions. For lefty bolt-on players replacing a worn or badly cut nut.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Lefty Strat- or Tele-style necks with a 1-11/16" nut slot
- Players replacing a chipped, worn, or badly slotted nut
- Anyone wanting slots already cut rather than starting from a blank
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Right-handed guitars — the slot spacing runs the wrong way
- Necks with a nut slot wider or narrower than 1-11/16"
- Anyone needing custom string spacing or a wider bass-side gap
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
Length 1-11/16" (42.93mm)
This is the seat length. Measure your existing nut end to end; a longer slot leaves a visible gap.
Detail 03
Thickness 0.134" (3.4mm)
Front-to-back depth of the nut slot. Too thick and it won't drop in without sanding.
Detail 04
E-to-E 1.38" (35.05mm)
Outer string spread. Determines how close the low and high E sit to the fretboard edges.
Detail 05
Height 0.200" (5.08mm)
Slots are cut shallow on purpose. Expect to file them down to your action rather than out of the box.
Detail 06
Slotted
String slots are started but not final depth, so you still need nut files to finish.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure the old nut in all three dimensions before ordering — Fender specs vary by year.
- 02Nut files, sandpaper, and glue are not included.
- 03Slots need lowering after install or the first two frets will play sharp.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this ready to install with no filing?
No. The slots are pre-started but left high. You will need to file them to final depth and dress the top for correct action.
02Will it fit a right-handed guitar?
Not properly. The slot widths are graduated for lefty string order, so a right-handed guitar would get the wrong slot width under each string.
03What if my nut slot is narrower than 42.93mm?
You can sand the ends to length, but you cannot add material. Measure first; a nut that's too short leaves a gap you can't fix.
04How do I attach it?
A small amount of glue at the base is standard. String tension holds it in place; heavy glue makes future replacement difficult.
