Hi Paul sounds to me like you are a purest when it comes to repair, and that has its place Im sure, however, the repair that I did with the TUSQ nut was a qik fix so that the costomer could sell the axxe,and not locally... I agree if the costromer is going to keep the guitar and it will be played often then "do it rite or dont touch it."<br />
I prefer using bone for nuts, and when it calls for it, the saddles too.

I don't like that tab thing either. Radius a piece of 1/8 inch maple. File out that little tab on the nut. Glue the maple to the nut with CA. Cut-file-sand the joined pieces for the slot and install.

Thanks for the response Paul. I never use anything but tightbond to glue in nuts and I alway try for a press fit using no glue when possible. The only time I use Tusq nuts, preslotted or blanks, is when the customer requests it. That being said, I have found that the preslotted nuts often work just fine when the slotting lines up. I always prefer to make the nuts from scratch. The only thing I really don't like about the Tusq fender style nuts is the open space under the nut when using them in…

Hi Rick first off let me extend the best to you in the new year--<br />
I used a TUSQ nut like you are talking about on a strat not too long ago and the it didnt seem to change a thing... I dont realy think there is snough pressure at that end of the neck to make any differance anyway (correction requested)...<br />
I had to adjust the slots a lil but thats expected I think ..<br />
Hope this info helps-- Be sfae...<br />
