Good stuff...
When you get tired of searching for the right pre-made replacement nut for your guitar of the correct material with correct spacing and height, you end up buying few of the blanks and everything is under your control.
The first one always takes longest, but after you learn how to do that, it is a standard solution for each other guitar. In case you cut the slot too low, there are hotfix solutions - shim the nut with piece of wood or use baking soda + superglue to raise the badly cut slot. Then buy a new blank and cut it properly - it does not cost a fortune and it is a major piece of the guitar.

Decent quality bleached bone
The two I received were much easier to file than bone nuts I've used from AliExpress, which made me a little wary, but they seem to be fine and polished up very smoothly. Sound great, so can recommend.

Always have spares @ home.
High E & low E can break the nut at top or bottom just any time at all. Happened to me twice in around 50 years of performing, but it does happen. These blanks are perfect to get your "work horse" back in form for tomorrow's gig.

It is very good!
So, if you want to upgrade the plastic nut from your harley benton St models, this is what you get.
It is blank, and that means that you have to cut it yourself or give it to a professional that knows how to do it, i would recommend the latter.
After installing my sustain and tone improved dramatically. When you buy an ST model, buy this as well. Extremely good and cheap upgrade for the price.

Harley Benton Nut Blank - Bone
Already fitted one of these to a Fender Strat and it sounds great - more sustain now after replacing the old plastic nut. Sounds a bit warmer too, though that might be the upgraded pickups I fitted at the same time. Very reasonably priced for bone, but of course you have to cut & shape these yourself, so buy pre-shaped/cut ones if you don't have experience of making your own nut.

Good Product - As Described
I like low action so I like to have a few spare bone nuts in case I accidentally file one down too far (when that happens you get buzzing).
Another good reason to have a spare: when you buy a new guitar and the string spacing is wider than you're used to - I use an old narrow-space nut as a template and work from there.
Can't fault this product. It is exactly as described - in terms of both measurements and material. It is definitely made from bone.
Just have a sheet of heavy and medium grade sandpaper to hand and you will be able to fashion a new bespoke nut for your guitar in 10-15 minutes.

Great product
I used this to make a Jazz bass nut, it works really well. it's large enough to get three jazz bass nuts out of it. Thanks Thomann!

Real bone
It's the real deal, genuine bone. Hard and when grinding it to size it smells like it. Works great on both sound and tuning stability.
