GRAPH TECH Guitar Nut Black TUSQ XL 6060/5000/5700 For Les Paul/Epiphone/Stratocaster/Telecaster 6 Strings 7 strings Style Electric Guitar Accessorymade in Canada
Most tuning problems originate at the nut. Strings move across the nut from string bend & tremolo use. If they get
caught up in the nut you go out of tune. TUSQ XL gives you a dramatic increase in tuning stability for string bends aggressive playing and tremolo use by providing permanent lubrication between the string and the nut.
HIGHLIGHTS
1：Tunings tability
2：Superior tone
3：Permanent lubrication
4：Consistent vibration
5：No dead spots
6：Vintage look
TUSQ XL nuts are based on the highly resonant TUSQ man made ivory which creates superior tone and provides tuning precision on all open notes.
HOW DOES IT WORK? TUSQ XL has lubrication impregnated all the way through the material (the slipperiest substance on earth... 500 times more slippery than graphite). It will never run out of lubrication. Other nut materials have a tendency to bind the strings in their slots and contributing to both the difficulty of keeping guitars in tune when using a tremolo and/or bending strings.
TUSQ XL is engineered for maximum vibration transfer and is consistent throughout unlike bone or ivory which have natural grains causing dead spots. These dead spots dampen the balance in tone and harmonic content. Generic plastics and synthetic materials like Micarta or Corian hamper tuning performance and tone because of inconsistency due to shrinkage and/or hand cut slots.
HOW DOES IT SOUND? TUSQ XL has a noticably rich harmonic content. It is laboratory-proven to enhance harmonic content up to 200% and improve sustain up to 16%. It is permanently lubricated with PTFE which forms a slick barrier between the nut and the string eliminating binding. Strings float across the nut and slide effortlessly back into tune.
We believe in the added sonic benefits of Tusq XL nuts--they offer better clarity added harmonics and sustain not found in other materials. The PTFE infused Tusq XL nut definitely promotes perfect tuning stability.
