• Black TUSQ XL is designed to boost guitar tone and performance. This precision engineered nut is made with a specially formulated material which couples the strings' vibrations to the neck and brings out the hidden harmonics and richness in every note.

• Measure and Prepare — Carefully measure your existing guitar nut's length, width, height, and slot radius. Ensure the new nut's dimensions (42.85mm length, 9.5-inch radius) match your requirements. Clean the nut slot on the guitar's neck thoroughly.
• Shape and Slot — If necessary, gently shape the new TUSQ XL nut to fit the slot perfectly. Use specialized nut files to cut string slots to the appropriate depth and spacing for your guitar's string gauge, ensuring proper action at the first fret.
• Glue and Tune — Apply a small amount of specialized wood glue or cyanoacrylate to the bottom of the nut slot. Place the nut firmly in position. Once secured, tune the strings and check for any buzzing or tuning instability, making minor adjustments as needed.
