ProlinePPL2863 G-Style Synthetic Ivory Slotted Nut
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A pre-slotted synthetic ivory nut for Gibson-style guitars, sized for a 43mm slot. For repairs or upgrades on Les Paul and SG type instruments.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a cracked or chipped nut on a Gibson-style guitar
- Builders wiring up a G-style neck who want string spacing already cut
- Keeping a cheap spare on hand for gigging repairs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Fender-style guitars, where the nut slot and radius differ
- Bass, which needs wider slots and heavier gauge clearance
- Players wanting bone or Tusq tonal character
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
Synthetic ivory
A hard plastic composite. Consistent density, no dead spots, cheaper than bone, and it won't yellow like real ivory.
Detail 03
G-style shape
Cut for Gibson-pattern necks. Length, height, and bottom curve are matched to that slot, not a Strat's.
Detail 04
White finish
Matches the off-white nut on most Gibson-style guitars. Visible from the front, so color mismatch shows.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your existing nut length, width, and height before ordering
- 02No glue, files, or sandpaper included
- 03Slot depth is factory-set, so light filing may still be needed for low action
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a Les Paul?
It is cut to the G-style pattern used on Gibson-type necks, which covers Les Paul and SG shapes. Measure your existing nut first, since dimensions vary by year and model.
02Do I need to file the slots?
The slots come pre-cut, so most installs need no filing. If your action at the first fret feels high, a light pass with nut files will lower it.
03How is it attached?
The nut sits in the slot and is held with a small amount of glue. Use only a drop so it can be removed later without damaging the fretboard end.
04Is synthetic ivory as good as bone?
It is more consistent piece to piece and easier on tools. Bone is denser and preferred by many techs, but the difference is small on a well-cut nut.
