The nut improved the tone of my Strat. It was a good upgrade, though it took a while to sand so that the size, shape, and string grooves replicated the original plastic nut.

so good!

Good but had to sand down a good bit to get where I wanted. Overall improves the guitar just may need to tweak it a bit.

Bought this as a replacement to the black TUSQ graphite nut which had a strange ABS plastic feel and produced A very warm hollow sound, with horrible buzz. Back to OEM now and loved the drop in installation on my strat after dremel sanding that plastic mold notch off the back. This nut restored the bright resonant tone Fenders are known for, the action feels more responsive on the open notes for trills and pull off notes than the other nut did.

Fit perfectly on my 2003 made in Mexico Telecaster neck this nut needs a little bit of filing because the string slots are already started but not to the correct height unless you like really high action

As described and fit fine to replace a chipped nut in a 62 AVRI Tele .

love it!

A little bit off on the angle of of the neck on my E serries Jap Strat. Pretty much works fine though.

THE GOOD:<br />- The nut fit into my MIM Stratocaster neck great, light tapping with a rubber mallet seated it firmly. No wiggle room.<br />- The quality of the bone is superb, no blemishes or discoloration.<br />- The slots fit light and medium gauge strings perfectly.<br /><br />THE BAD:<br />- Something off happened. The template for the slotting must have been off or whatnot. The spacing between high E and B is over .024 wider than the rest. Also, the low E is several thousandths further away from the edge, everything got shifted. End result, there's tons of fret space for the low E, but the high E is almost off the fretboard. This makes playing a lesson in frustration. Compared against the original melamine nut, you can easily see the differences.<br /><br />For now, I've taken a punch and knocked that sucker over. Looks ugly, but hey, at least I can use it.<br /><br />I plan on returning this nut and trying another of the same. Maybe I got a bad one?<br /><br />-- This review is based on the item I received, I'll update if the next one doesn't seem defective.

I have two Strats that I retro-fitted with this nut. Works great. Sounds great.

Great Replacement for my 57 reissue Strat . AA++

Much better than the plasticy nut that comes on a MIM strat. Strings glide through better and tremolo stays in tune a lot better.<br /><br />A couple cons preventing 5 stars:<br /><br />-It's taller than the stock nut by almost a full millimeter, so will have to be sanded or your action adjusted<br />-It's just a tad to narrow to fit snugly in the slot for a MIM strat, so glue is an absolute necessity. I would recommend just a dab of superglue or wood glue. You will have to clamp it down for at least an hour with wood glue, and make sure not to use a metal clamp or you may damage the nut.

The last piece. The only things left in my MiM Strat is the head and neck and the wooden body. From locking tuners to vintage-style noiseless pickups, Super Trem-Vee bridge, even the pick guard and new stainless steel screws, and finally this pre-cut nut which fit perfectly. Sure it says MiM on the headstock, but it plays like a dream. Start or end with the nut, but don't forget to replace it!

Quality part as advertised. No fitment issues related to the part it self. I did not confirm how tall my string nut was on my Chinese made starcaster( Stock one was a bit taller), so that's my fault. I worked in a shim and it's all good.

Perfect!

Fit great

Expensive but fits. Will probably need a little adjustment so beware that this is synthetic bone and very hard. So its not easy to thin.

A bone nut helped give better sustain.

I always make sure I have a true bone nut tin the neck of all my electrics and a bone bridge as well on the acoustics. It is the least expensive way to make a guitar blossom and increase sustain and richness of the tone.

fits fine even though I ordered the wrong radius
