## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 27 August 2024*

I recently bought a Coban Telecaster DIY kit with a damaged nut slot and missing nut in a clearance sale. I repaired the slot with plastic wood and used this as the opportunity to try a Tusk nut, it fitted perfectly without any need to alter it and gives the guitar the correct string clearance from nut to third fret, I have used this in conjunction with a set of Wilkinson Tuners and between them both it makes tuning the guitar and keeping it in tune a doddle. I will be converting my other guitars to these nuts when they are due for restringing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 17 October 2024*

Nice tight fit in a HB TE52 after a little sanding on the fret board side. Needed a little edge sanding as well. Perfectly cut slots for frets 1 2 3 tuning accuracy. Tuning stability excellent. Worth the cost for a quality upgrade to budget guitars.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Nut, Great Improvement.
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 17 April 2022*

Got this for an old Encore strat I got in a charity shop as a mod project.The nut really has made a vast improvement both tonally and with tuning stability.It will need sanding down to fit most guitars but this was relatively straight forward (I sanded from the bottom to get the correct height, rather than filing the already well crafted slots)Very pleased with this purchase and the improvements to tone and stability were more than expected. Would recommend!
