Graph TechTUSQ XL Fender Style Slotted Nut
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement slotted nut for Fender-style necks, cut to standard dimensions. For players swapping out a worn or binding nut without paying a luthier.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fixing string binding and tuning slip at the nut
- Replacing a chipped or worn plastic nut on a Strat or Tele
- DIY setups where you want pre-slotted rather than blank
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars with non-Fender nut width or string spacing
- Anyone wanting custom string spacing — the slots are already cut
- Players unwilling to remove and glue in a nut
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
1/8 inch thickness (3.4mm)
Front-to-back depth of the slot in the neck. Too thin rocks in place, too thick will not drop in.
Detail 03
3/16 inch height (5.08mm)
Total blank height. Extra material above the slots lets you sand the bottom down for your action.
Detail 04
1.38 inch E-to-E spacing
Distance from low E slot to high E slot. Sets how close the outer strings sit to the fretboard edge.
Detail 05
Slotted
String slots are already cut, so you skip nut files. Depth may still need fine-tuning for low action.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your old nut in all three dimensions before ordering — Fender sizing varies by year
- 02No glue, files, or sandpaper included
- 03Slots usually need deepening slightly; cut too far and the nut is scrap
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need to file the slots?
Usually a little. The slots are cut to a usable depth but final height depends on your neck relief and preferred action. Go slow and check first-fret buzz as you work.
02Will this fit any Fender?
It fits necks cut for a 1-11/16 inch nut at 1/8 inch thickness. Measure yours first — nut slot dimensions changed across Fender models and eras.
03How is it attached?
It sits in the nut slot and is held with a small amount of glue. The fit and the string tension do most of the work; glue only keeps it from falling out during string changes.
04Can I sand it down?
Yes. Sand the bottom flat on paper laid on a hard surface to lower overall string height. Sanding the bottom is safer than deepening slots.
