Graph Tech TUSQ XL F-Style Slotted Nut
Installed the nut with a brass bridge from Fender on our TE-30, liked the sound of the pickups that it came with, but now I love the sound of the pickups . Cheap way to get the sound you're looking for!

great tone
this nut sounds great. i've put it on my american professional strat because my bone nut was buzzing on first and second fret but it's a little smaller, you need 43,5 mm or 44 mm and this nut is 42,93. i will order bigger one because i want to be perfect fit. i hope this helps somebody. cheers.

Seems good enough
This nut seems to be of high quality. I've read many, many reviews, and it always seems to be the top choice, apparently there is more tonal consistency than my favored bone nuts . The 'XL' version is claimed to be permanently lubricated, useful for vibrato equipped guitars. There are no obvious defect in manufacturing, it looks very precisely made. That it can fit both flat and arched nut slots means I don't have to pull the old nut before ordering.
I have not yet installed this nut, I purchased it as a spare part to keep around for when I need it rather than having to wait for a new nut to arrive. Looking at this one, I will now order Tusq nuts for all of my guitars just to have them on hand when they're needed.

Very nice replacement nut.
Be aware that it's not a perfect fit from the get go. Being many strat models unless it's fairly recent, you'll have to adjust to fit.
Which brings out the sturdiness of the material. It's not that easy to sand so it will not wear out fast.
The nut slits are great fit for 10-47 gauge. The strings sounds noticeably better than my old (plastic?) nut.
Overall a great product.

Decent but took a while to sand
I think it works great and sound good, a definite upgrade for my te62 but maybe my inexperience this took longer to sand than I thought it would - not a big issue and pretty happy overall

Great quality
Great quality in a smooth nut. I had to do quite a bit of sanding to get the edges to line up, as well as shimming the nut itself to get a proper height - but this is on a bizarre 1982 Yamaha guitar, which really does not have anything purpose built for it. For the price, can't go wrong - I would recommend the TUSQ as a great upgrade for most any ST style guitar.
