Detail 01
Graphite material
Self-lubricating, so strings slide instead of pinching in the slots. Cuts tuning drift after bends much more than bone does.

ProlineG-Style Graphite Slotted Nut Black
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A pre-slotted graphite nut in the Gibson-style shape, for players fixing string binding, tuning slip, or a cracked nut on a set-neck guitar.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Guitars that go sharp when bending or using vibrato
- Replacing a chipped or badly cut original nut
- Anyone tuning often with a wound-string guitar
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Fender-style guitars needing a flat-bottom, different-width nut
- Players wanting bone or brass tone character
- Anyone unwilling to file slots or sand to height
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
Pre-slotted
Slots are started, not finished. Depth and spacing still need checking against your gauge and neck.
Detail 03
G-style blank
Cut for the width, curve, and bottom profile Gibson-type necks use, not a universal fit.
Detail 04
Black color
Reads dark against the fretboard rather than blending like bone or Corian. A visible visual change on a light neck.
Detail 05
$11.99
Cheap enough to buy two, which matters since a first fitting attempt often goes too deep.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your old nut's width, height, and bottom curve first
- 02No nut files, glue, or shims included
- 03Slots cut too low buzz on open strings — remove material slowly
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a drop-in replacement?
Not usually. Even a correctly sized blank needs the slots deepened to your string gauge and the height sanded to match. Budget setup time or a tech visit.
02Graphite vs bone — which is better?
Graphite wins on tuning stability because strings slide freely. Bone is denser and favored for open-string ring. For a guitar that binds and slips, graphite solves the problem.
03Will this fit a Strat or Tele?
No. Fender-style necks use a different nut width and a flat bottom. This blank is cut for the Gibson-style profile.
04How is it attached?
It seats in the slot and is held with a small amount of glue — just enough to stay put, so it can be knocked out later. No glue is included.
