Questions & Answers
When comparing the 5010-42mm flat bottom nut to the 5010-42mm flat bottom nut, the 42mm flat bottom nut is narrower (length is listed). The number 00 represents one. 764" or 44 is a number that can be used to represent a number of 81mm. The 42mm (1.25") diameter The 65" is made of standard Tusq material and is designed to fit import Fender and Squier models, while the 5010- 00 is made of TusqXL, which is teflon impregnated and permanently lubricated, which explains the higher price; however, keep in mind that they tend to make them a little long so you can sand the ends flush with your fingerboard.
Put a few very small dots of Elmer's glue on it, or dilute it and spread it across the bottom, then press it into place and let it sit for a while (I let mine sit overnight because I'm not a professional). I always use a small amount of glue to adhere a strat- Replace the nut with a style that is similar to the original, but with a lighter touch. The strings will not allow it to escape, but they will provide more stability. Don't use super glue because it's too easy to mess it up by going overboard when it's not required.
PQ- You are correct. 5042- 00 is the same size as the PT-00 in terms of dimensions. 5042-
Selected User Reviews For PQ-5042-00 : TUSQ Slotted Nut 42mm Flat Bottom
Drop-by-drop Instead of a Squier Bullet Mustang HH, a Squier Bullet Mustang HH was used. When strung with tens, there is no need to file. One of the most cost-effective upgrades you can make to your guitar.
So I went to eBay and bought the cheapest guitar I could find, as well as this nut to replace it. I couldn't get this nut to stop rocking despite the fact that the nut slot on the guitar had been sloppily cut. So I leveled the nut slut, but the nut continued to rock from side to side on the fret board. Then I noticed that one side of the nut was curved when I held a brand new razor up to it. Maybe . 5 to . I don't have any calipers, so I'll have to make do with 25 mm. But it was enough that I had to sand the entire nut to level it. Thankfully, the nut did not become unusable as a result of the damage. Anyway, it's possible that this occurred after I purchased it. For about a week, it was out of its package on my work table. However, I've had problems with graphtech nuts rocks before, so it's possible that it's a quality control issue. Just make sure the bottom is truly flat before starting to file the nut slot.
I'm working on something.
I bought it for what I'm ashamed to admit is a Chinese strat knock-off. (I know, I know. ) For the record, I do have solid strategies. So, 42mm is ideal. Note that 42mm is the length of the nut, not its width. Nut Width is a measure of how thick a nut is. The terms "neck width" and "nut width" are often used interchangeably. THINGS ARE NOT THE SAME ABOUT THEM! Now, 42mm is ideal for this dreadful guitar I foolishly purchased. The width, however, is not one of them. It's not wide (thick) enough, so you'll need a 1mm wider nut or a shim. So I'm going to give it 5 stars because I'm confident it's a fantastic nut. If necessary, I'll test on a real guitar and update the rating.
Double-check your sizes, Squier owners! It fits perfectly in my Squier Bullet Strat with Tremolo (2008-2009). (Run in 2017). A set of tens does not require any sanding or filing. In addition, it sits flush on all sides. My old tuning machine heads felt smoother right away, and the notes lasted longer and were brighter. TUSQ nuts will be installed in all of my guitars from now on. br>br>Be aware that the sizes of different Squier Strats differ. I also own a Bullet from the previous generation (2000-2005). No tremolo was added in 2006, and the nut on that guitar is 41mm. I believe the majority of them are 42mm, but double-check yours.
One of my vintage guitars had a cracked plastic nut. I ordered a Tusq equivalent after removing it and carefully measuring the old one. One of the standard models will work. br>br> I was planning on sanding down a slightly larger one to get a perfect fit, but it wasn't necessary in my case. I used some fish glue to adhere it to the strings, then tensioned them to keep it in place while it dried. Not only has it been repaired, but I believe the tone has improved significantly. br>br>Quick, simple, and pleasant!.
I wanted to replace the nut on my stratocaster so that I could use the tremolo more without losing tuning. Thickness, height, and curve all had to be filed down. It didn't take long at all. 2 dabs of wood glue and lubricated slots were used to install it. When tuning or using the whammy bar, it performs much better, with less creaking and popping. The two highest strings' tone has also been improved.
Before purchasing this nut, I spent nearly three weeks doing research. After about an hour of fitting, I realized I had bought the incorrect height. I simply assumed that because it said strat, it would fit my strat rip-off. I bought a California classic strat knockoff from Monoprice, but it wouldn't lift above the first fret when I tried it on. They also make a taller model, which Graph Tech swapped out for me. They're an excellent firm! I can't say I dislike it because it didn't fit me. Before you buy, make sure you measure the height of your stock nut.
