Used this for an Ibanez SA260FM. The string spacing on the stock nut was less than on this one. However it still fits nicely and I actually prefer the extra string spacing. Awesome! Review: Easy Fit and a Noticeable Improvement in Sound - Really happy with this. Fit was spot on for my guitar and it was straightforward to install with minimal effort. Once fitted, the difference was immediately noticeable. Tuning feels more stable and overall tone sounds clearer and more consistent, especially when using the trem or doing bends. Build quality feels solid and it does exactly what it’s meant to do without any fuss. Simple upgrade, easy to fit, and genuinely improves how the guitar feels and sounds. If you’re looking for a quick, effective upgrade that actually makes a difference, this is well worth it. ## Features - GraphTech Black TUSQ XL Guitar Nut - Graphtech Black Tusq Nut 6 String Electric 43 X 6 - Designed to boost guitar performance, TUSQ XL is precision engineered and specially formulated to bring out the hidden harmonics and richness in every note. - TUSQ XL is based on the highly resonant TUSQ man made ivory and impregnated with PTFE, the slipperiest substance on earth, to improve the tuning performance of the guitar. - Improved tuning stability, improved harmonic content ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0037NVSYY | | Back Material Type | Maple Wood | | Back material type | Maple Wood | | Body Material Type | Solid Body | | Body material | Solid Body | | Brand | GRAPH TECH GUITAR LABS | | Brand Name | GRAPH TECH GUITAR LABS | | Color | Black | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 853 Reviews | | Fretboard Material Type | Rosewood | | Guitar Bridge System | Fixed | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | S-S-S | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 9L x 9W x 9H centimeters | | Item Type Name | Guitar Top Nut | | Item Weight | 0.01 Pounds | | Item height | 9 centimeters | | Manufacturer | GRAPHTECH | | Neck Material Type | Maple | | Neck material type | Maple | | Number of Strings | 6 | | String Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Top Material Type | Rosewood | | Top material type | Rosewood | | UPC | 702725121755 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** GRAPH TECH GUITAR LABS - **Colour:** Black - **Top material type:** Rosewood - **Body material:** Solid Body - **Back material type:** Maple Wood ## Images ![Graphtech Black Tusq Nut 6 String Electric 43 X 6 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41xGHt5vvaL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: which nut do i need to replace the black one on my epiphone less paul ?** A: You need to pay very close attention to the string spacing on your guitar. This nut is for a string spacing of 1-3/8". Epiphone Les pauls have a string spacing at the nut of 1 3/8". USA Gibson Les Pauls have a string spacing of 1-7/16". That 1/16" makes a difference. You make sure you get the right one. The string spacing on this particular nut is 1-3/8" which will also fit an ESP LTD EC series guitar. Graph Tech does make an exact fit for a 1-7/16" Les Paul nut. These are good quality. **Q: Will this fit Ibanez Gio guitar? If not can a nut be recommended?** A: It needs to match the neck radius and the string width. Measure those two things and if it matches this nut then it should fit. To measure the radius I just made a template from cardboard. Height wise this nut has plenty of stock to be fit to any neck. I think I ended up sanding about 1/8" off the bottom to fit it to my Yamaha se350 (strat style guitar). **Q: Will this fit a Jackson js22 dinky ?** A: Whatever nut you decide on, some adjustment will be needed. If you don’t have the tools to do it, bring to a luthier. If you do decide to do it, you will need a caliper and some files. Good luck. **Q: Is this for a right-handed guitar?** A: Yes ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Product! *by A***R on 22 October 2020* Nice upgrade for such a low price.
