The Black TUSQ XL is designed to boost your guitar's tone and performance. This precision nut ins made with a special formulation based on Graph Tech's highly resonant TUSQ man-made ivory, which couples the strings vibrations to the neck and is impregnated with Teflon to improve the tuning performance of your guitar. Play hard or do massive string bends and your strings simply glide back into tune. Black TUSQ XL will keep your guitar in tune longer than graphite, bone, plastic or synthetic nuts.
TUSQ has become an important tone performance tool for many guitar manufacturers, luthiers, and playing professionals around the world. TUSQ nuts have rich tone and sustain without the inconsistency found in ivory, bone and other natural materials. In addition, a Black TUSQ XL nut has crystal clear tone and sustain.
How It Works: As strings move across a Black TUSQ XL nut, they activate the molecular Teflon lubricant that is impregnated throughout the nut material. For strings, it's like a hardwood floor covered in marbles...strings roll back into tune. It's that simple!
Buying Guide
Most important are E to E spacing and width of nut. Extra length and height is common and can be taken down with fine sandpaper. TUSQ can be sanded, filed, and polished just like ivory or bone.
Graph Tech's precision engineered components are used by many of the world's leading guitar manufacturers including Carvin, Fender, Gibson, Godin, Ibanez, Martin, Schecter, Taylor, Tom Anderson, and many more.
What does TUSQ sound like?
TUSQ nuts are designed to transfer the right frequencies more efficiently from the string to the guitar body, resulting in crisp highs and open lows.
