Detail 01
1-3/4 inch length (actual 1.735 in / 44.07 mm)
This is the wide Gibson jumbo width. Measure your existing nut end to end; a shorter slot leaves the new nut overhanging.

Graph TechTUSQ XL Jumbo Gibson Slotted Nut
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Pre-slotted TUSQ XL nut cut to Gibson jumbo dimensions. For players replacing a cracked or badly cut nut without paying for full custom slotting.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a chipped or worn nut on a Gibson-dimension guitar
- A DIY swap where you want the string slots already started
- Anyone whose nut slots have worn low and buzz on open strings
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Fender-style guitars — this length and radius will not seat
- Players wanting custom string spacing cut to their own layout
- Anyone unwilling to remove a glued nut carefully
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
3/16 inch thickness (actual 0.196 in / 4.98 mm)
The front-to-back dimension sitting in the nut slot. Too thick and it will not drop in without sanding the back face.
Detail 03
3/8 inch height (actual 0.366 in / 9.3 mm)
Blank height above the slot. Expect to sand the bottom down so slot depth and action land where you want them.
Detail 04
1-7/16 inch E-to-E spacing (36.2 mm)
Outer string centers are fixed here. If your current spacing differs, the outer strings will sit closer to or further from the fretboard edge.
Detail 05
Slotted, not a blank
String grooves are already cut, so you skip layout and starting cuts. Final depth still needs filing to your action.
Detail 06
TUSQ XL
Man-made, uniformly dense material rather than bone, so it files predictably with no soft spots or grain to chase.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your current nut's length, thickness and height before ordering — Gibson dimensions vary by era
- 02No glue, files or tools included; nut files are the real cost of this job
- 03Removing a glued nut can chip lacquer — score the finish line first
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a drop-in part?
No. It is pre-slotted but oversized in height, so the bottom needs sanding and the slots need final depth filing to set your action.
02Will it fit my Epiphone or older Gibson?
Compare all three dimensions against your existing nut. Nut slot width and length changed across models and eras, and this is cut to the jumbo 1-3/4 inch size.
03What glue should I use?
A single small drop of thin wood glue at the center is enough. The strings hold the nut down; heavy glue only makes the next replacement harder.
04Can I file this myself?
The material files easily and evenly. You need proper gauged nut files for slot depth — a hobby file will widen slots and cause buzzing or binding.
