42mm Bone Nut for Stratocaster & Telecaster type Electric Guitars

Nice bridge, it seemed slightly deeper than the previous supposedly identical one I had before (watch out, they're easily broken when you have a tight fit!) but a few seconds with a piece of sandpaper on a flat surface got me a perfect fit. This was bought as a replacement for the plastic nut on a cheap kit guitar I wanted to make into a good one. I can't compare the two as I pulled out the plastic before assembling the kit, but this bone nut has a very nice tone and great sustain.For a fiver(ish) this is a great upgrade on any guitar with a plastic nut and an ideal replacement for a worn or damaged nut or when replacing strings with a thinner gauge.

First nut that I have bought via Amazon. The nut is as described.

While I had the strings off a Telecaster to install a new bridge I thought I would try and install a new nut. With sticky tuning and clicky strings the nut was a prime suspect. The same vendor, Vansons, who I bought the bridge from, also sold a bone nut for a Tele.I have never installed a nut before so did not know what to expect, and there were no instructions.I could see that the old nut was sealed over with the clear coat of the guitar so I very carefully scored around it with a stanley blade. The old nut pulled straight out with pliers, so no drama there. Once it was out I could see It was a cheap plastic moulding, so no wonder it caused trouble.The new nut was thicker than the old one so I sanded it down by rubbing it on a finger nail emery board until it was a tight push fit in the slot. The string height was perfect so I did not need to sand that, or file the string slots. I didn't glue it in as I made it a tight fit and the old one was not glued in anyway.What a difference, the tuning and sustain are fantastic. I would never have believed the nut could make so much of an improvement to the sound. Well worth the effort.

Great, well cut, as with all bone nuts you will need to file or sand the bottom to get to the right height and a bit off the back side to get it to fit the slot correctly. I strongly suggest you leave the nut slots alone as it’s easy to botch them without very expensive nut files and experience. Just make sure you sand the bottom level and not on an angleSo good I’m buying another, the tone difference was massive compared to the rubbish plastic nut on my mighty might neck

Arrived promptly, have now fitted to the low cost far east Strat style guitar I purchased it for and it simply dropped in as a replacement. This, meant it was far less work to fit than I expected. very pleased.

I got one of these bone nuts to replace a plastic one in a knock off fender telecaster that I own. Previously I’d changed pretty much everything except the nut in an attempt to improve the guitar. When I finally changed the nut as well it really transformed the guitar. Just remember you need to measure and get the right size and you’ll probably need suitable files to get a perfect fit.

Poor quality

Perfect - an old frankencaster with a cheap, stock nut in an otherwise beautiful squier neck now stays in tune with none of the stickiness of the cheap, badly cut thing it came with. A very good, cheap and effective upgrade.
