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.
