I replaced the nuts on a Yamaha Acoustic, a Fender Strat, and an American Guild acoustic from the 1970s with these. It was never EXACT every time. I needed to sand and have a lot of patience. Some digital calipers are very helpful in getting the closest match, but some adjustments will be required, especially on older guitars (such as 2 1970s acoustics that haven't been made in decades).

Gretsch Electromatic Pro Jet drop-in replacement. On the Gretsch Electromatic Pro Jet, this nut is a huge improvement over the stock nut. I was planning on upgrading the pickups, but thanks to the new nut, I'll be able to get by with stock for a while. This nut will make a pinging sound if it is dropped into a ceramic mug. Because this new tusq is so much harder than the old one, it sounded more like a thud. It's a good thing, in my opinion. br>br>Fit the Gretsch without making any changes. It's just a straight swap. I had to shim it up a little because it wasn't tall enough, but that wasn't a problem. It was unnecessary to sand the surface. br>br>String spacing is a tad wider, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. There's still plenty of room on the fretboard, and the strings don't bind or make that annoying ping sound when tuning.
The proportions and size of the room were perfect. The only "rub" is that the strings still stick in the nut on occasion, despite the fact that the headstock was designed to bring the strings through the nut as straight as possible. I'm sure a little lube will help, but one of the benefits of these is that they don't stick. FYI.
These are something I use on a regular basis and consider to be a low-cost upgrade. Recommend.
This nut has made me very happy. It required no sanding to reduce the height and improved the tone of my guitar over the bone nut that had previously been installed.
I broke the nut on my Dean ML by accident, and I was disappointed when I learned how much it would cost to repair it. I made the decision to investigate my options for doing it on my own. I was disappointed after watching some online videos on how to repair it because I lacked the necessary tools. I went to Amazon to see if they had any preslotted nuts that I could just stick on my guitar, and they did, and they were a perfect fit. I placed an order for it, and it arrived quickly and in excellent condition. All I had to do was sand it down to the same height as the previous one in order to get a good action, then glue it on with wood glue. It's in perfect working order; you can't tell it's been replaced at all. Anyone looking for a quick and inexpensive nut replacement should try it!.
On my Les Paul Custom, I put a Stetsbar tremolo in. After having two different luthiers install bone nuts and still having tuning issues, I decided to do it myself and install a Graphtech Black Tusq XL (pre-cut for Les Paul). I bought the pre-release version. Because I don't have any experience cutting nut slots or the necessary tools, I went with the slotted style. I had to do some sanding, but I took my time and got a great fit. I didn't have to adjust the nut slots at all. I did have to sand the bottom to get the proper string height, as well as the back/sides to fit the nut into the nut slot on the fret board, but this nut solved my binding and tuning issues completely. The key to success, in my opinion, is to not rush and "check-off" on everything. Fit the nut several times until it is tight and solid.
Strings won't stick to the nit because it's made of graphite. Because it's made of graphite, it's easier to tune.
