Graph Tech Training Series: How to find the right nut

[@iamanovercomer3253]

Simple, stew Mac had fender 9.5 neck radius. Both my telecaster and stratocaster have 9.5 radius. I just replaced the nut on my tele' and it is so much clearer, crisper and louder than the old nut ‼️👍

[@Jeremya74]

Exactly what nut are you ordering from stewmac for your 9.5 radius tele?

[@DreidMusicalX]

Well I am so happy to run across this video. I never could tell on ebay the right one to fit my guitars. It was always close, but no cigar. So most of my guitars when I upgraded them went to brass saddles and brass nuts or brass and bone nuts.

[@Grumpy-Digga]

I really want to put these nuts on my strats. I'm army pensioner so my guitars are all I have. I've replaced the pegs in an acoustic and very happy.

[@isthereanybodyoutthere9397]

I have a Faith Saturn acoustic with a TUSQ nut, and it punches way over its weight. Great guitar using a great nut. I also have a G&L Legacy Tribute Series Strat that has a plastic nut which is fine, but also have a Harley Benton HB35Plus which could benefit from a new nut, and although the G&L is a great guitar as is, I am considering a new nut for it as although I don't get detuning problems because of the brilliant dual fulcrum bridge, I would like to enhance its sound even more as it is my go to guitar. It will be TUSQ nuts on either or both.

Excellent video!

[@allanblair146]

Hi thanks for the info in this vid. Does the radius of the fretboard matter when choosing the correct nut?

[@0000song0000]

it does. as far as i know, some Tusq come with radius (curved bottom) and others are flat 🙆🏻

[@realtusq]

curved bottom nuts are usually for American made Fender guitars... most other are flat bottom.... regarding Radius, it's just a slight adjustment to the slots to match a radius if you are having issues with D and G being too high, or the E and E being too high...

[@Rvezz28]

If you can sand the sides, bottom and width down, then why isn't string spacing (E to E) the most important measurement? It's the only one you can't change after purchase.

[@realtusq]

well, if you buy a nut that's too short or not long enough.....

What do you recommend a nut model for yamaha silent 200s 😊

[@zjedinite]

How does someone acquire one of these catalogs? Or is there a website with such information? 🤔 Thanks!

[@GraphTechGuitarLabs]

Here's a link to download... a new catalog and lots more parts coming in 2 weeks... help-center.graphtech.com/en-US/download-product-catalog-405055. If you print the sizing guide at 100%, the line drawings are life size.... hope that helps

[@Jeremya74]

​@@GraphTechGuitarLabsyour website is confusing..why not have an area were you can put in the model and radius and width and it will send you to the nut you need?...Im looking for a tusq that will fit a telecaster that has a 9.5 radius and is 42mm wide..I don't know the width and fender doesn't show it on there site..Ive ordered it and Id like to order the nut to have it the same time so I can change it

[@BoxingExtravaganza]

Which one is for Kramer Baretta Special. Thanks

[@GraphTechGuitarLabs]

Ok, if you could send us a few measurements, we don't have that one here... length x thickness x height and E to E spacing ( center of each slot) and we should get you pretty close... please send to [e-mail] thanks for asking..

[@BoxingExtravaganza]

[@fjonesjones2]

Why do Graph Tech vids have this annoying background noise.

[@123elvislives]

Thanks for that 👍

[@rockwriter9054]

Hi what about the slot width sizes ,so they are matched to the strings I require a pre slotted XL nut for strings 46-9 this is important to stop string binding do you need to know what guage of strings are being used 8.9 10.11.12? This is for a PRS custom thank you

[@GraphTechGuitarLabs]

All of our nuts are slotted for most standard sizes. Only once you go past a set of 13's do you have to consider modifying the slots. But usually only the larger bass strings. You can easily use a clipped end of the string and run it along the slot a couple times to widen the slot. Just to get a nice, even "U" shape to cradle the string.

[@12345origamimaster]

I need a nut for a seven string guitar. Is the e-e actually b-e or is it still e-e where do i measure from? Thanks (:

[@GraphTechGuitarLabs]

Hi, you need to measure from the B to E spacing for a seven string

[@seventwistsclockwise]

Try looking next to the left one ;-)

[@bigpapi2658]

I always need to shim my nut for slide guitar. Why can’t you make a tall nut and market it for slide!!

[@Jomor44]

What if the nut is missing?

[@larryphelps6607]

......should be there beside the left one.

[@patrickdean893]

That's easy, it's next to the left one.

[@cmkilcullen8176]

geeze - It would be really nice if one could call with thier guitar model type and number and you guys tell us what will work... this is is just too much mumbo jumbo ..

[@GraphTechGuitarLabs]

YES.... HOW ABOUT GOOD OLD INCHES ,I ain`t that smart !!!!!!!

[@jasonnn2284]

One thing that this video doesn't tell you, is when you measure nut height start from your foot up to one or both nuts. But give it a little extra for a meaty nut. Other than that, this video will help you bust endless ropes of nut. Cheers!

My rulers don't measure 1.69".

This mentions nothing about radius...
