Review: Fini la corde qui accroche au sillet et les désaccordages intempestifs ! Avec ce sillet on retrouve une stabilité d’accordage parfaite et on peut enfin utiliser le vibrato de sa Stratocaster sans craindre le désaccordage (surtout avec des mecas a blocage)
Review: I had a hard time figuring out if I needed the curved or straight bottom version for my 2009 Highway One Strat. The curved one (this one) was the correct fit. I had some buzzing in my old nut. This one has no buzzing. The slots are cut very nicely (I use 10-46 string size). It has better sustain and a slightly cleaner sound than my old nut. I confirmed nut buzz vs. fret buzz because I could pinch the strings on the tuner side of the nut and make the buzz go away. I bought a set of needle files for shaping. I had to file the little tab off the bottom, and I had to file the thickness slightly. I think they make them a little thick on purpose so you can file to a perfect fit. File a little at a time, and don't force it into the nut slot - just file a little more for a snug fit that you can push in with your thumb. If you don't have the right files to file off the tab, don't forget to order some. It's an extra $5 well spent on a set of diamond needle files. This works without lowering the slot depth, but the action is higher than ideal. Expect to need some fine tuning of slot depth. You're either going to pay for a luthier to do it or buy the proper nut slotting files to do it yourself. Where I am, paying for the adjustment would be cheaper than paying for a luthier to make a whole new nut. I'm buying some nut files to adjust the string height myself. The way I look at it is that for the cost of nut adjustments on two guitars, I can get the files and learn to do it myself. The cost is a wash in the short term, but I always lean toward investing in tools and learning skills vs. paying for one time services. On an acoustic Tusq I bought previously, I thought I'd be clever and sand down the base to set the string height. That was not a good approach. I ended up with a couple of strings too low and a couple too high. I shimmed it and tried to fix the mess with a torch tip cleaner. Overall - I wasted $10 and 3 hours. I'm back to the factory nut on my acoustic now. I really recommend you plan to get the right tools (nut files) if you're going to do this yourself. At a minimum, look into the DIY feeler gauge file. I'll be in business with low string action on both guitars in another week when I get the files!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: anyone put this on sx furrianan or sx strat copy?  how hard was installation/filing etc.?**
A: This is our most common Fender-style replacement nut, however, we always recommend measuring to ensure an accurate fit. Our material is easy to work with and can be modified with some sand paper and other standard tooling

**Q: Anyone known if this nut is close to string sizes 9's, 10's, 11's etc?  How close are the slots, if you know?**
A: Site: "Our nuts are engineered to accept string sets between 9-42 to 11-49 gauges on all electric nuts, 10-47 to 12-53 on acoustic nuts, and 40-95 to 50-105 on bass nuts, all without modification. Our materials can easily be modified to accept larger gauge sets with appropriate files."

**Q: Will this fit my squier classic vibe 60s stratocaster?**
A: The 5000 is a good fit for many Fender and Fender-esque instruments, however, we always recommend comparing our listed dimensions against a stock part to ensure compatibility....

Length: 1.690" (42.93mm)
Width: .128" (3.26mm)
Height: .200" (5.08mm)

**Q: Would this work with a fender CD-60 acoustic?**
A: No. The ideal nut for a Fender acoustic is most likely the 6143

Buena calidad. Facil de adaptar lijando hasta conseguir la medida. Blando. Para Squier Stratocaster es perfecta. Solo lijar un poco la longitud y el terón inferior para q baje a su sitio. Hacerlo poco a poco y probando para no pasaros y q quede hueco
