Guyker 42mm Guitar Titanium Alloy Nut - Pre-Slotted Nuts Replacement Compatible with Fender Strat ST Style Electric Guitar

As a fan of titanium, I knew this stuff would be a chore to PROPERLY install. Sure, you could just slap it in there as a direct replacement, if you don't care about sharp corners, or high action. I used S.M. nut files and a belt sander and spent a few HOURS to get it where it needed to be. Very nice, reminiscent of brass nuts from the 80s, 'cept matches the color of the frets and looks 10x more METAL. Solid addition and should last forever. Instead of maintaining the slots with a file when frets wear down, I'd rather just do more frequent refrets (less time consuming).

I gave it 5 out of 5 cause I order the wrong one it is what it is but please read it may save you.The Fender One is a very very small teeny tiny of a thing almost like an eyelash. well, I exaggerate a bit but it is small. like the fender nut for some of the old fenders. if you need it for other guitars look at getting the Gibsons one it is the only other one. the string lineup is somewhat a little off when it come to the machines depending on your guitar's make. but if you are intuitive you can figure it all out. it is a tough nut to work on but it is worth it in the long run. I end up putting one on my Washburn HM80 the elusive guitar that was a prototype that my nut crack on only a few days ago. so I gave her some love and well got the wrong one and then had to get the Gibson. So lesson learn and hope you can learn from my mistake. happy playing.

I bought a pair of these titanium nuts after reading about metal nuts in general. Mounted one on a guitar I built and was disappoint to here unfretted string buzzes, not related to the fretboard itself. Took it off and went back to a GraphTech nut. I did use it again on another guitar, after deepening the slots a bit and widening the slot rears with a small circular file. Since its "rebirth," it has performed perfectly. My old ears aren't good enough to determine if the Titanium nut is better, tone-wise, than the GraphTech, but the guitar with it sounds just fine. Side-by-side test coming up.

It's titanium so it's a blip to work with, but really nice when done.

It's a good guitar nut that should last a while under down and up tuning constantly, but towards the high E string side, the string is really low and buzzes of the frets alot. I was able to fix it tho with a spacer underneath it. Other than that it's a good nut and it provides as nice twangy tone because of the fact it's made out of metal.

Here's a tip.. if you don't know *exactly* what width of nut you need (Modern, Vintage, Other), measure the existing one. This nut measures 42.95mm wide by 3.4mm thick -- which is totally on spec for a modern Fender Strat nut. So, I just finished installing one of these on a MIM Fender Strat and a Frankenstrat with a Mighty Mite licensed neck. The width and thickness are perfect.Out of the package -- this nut, like *every other nut I've ever installed* is too high and will need to be filed to adjust the height. I can also tell you that filing this thing down is a good bit tougher than filing nu-bone, bone, or Tusq material. After all, it's titanium lol.

Looks great and holds the strings in place better than a bone or plastic nut. No issue with the tone and says in tune.

I bought this as a replacement for a plastic nut that I had on a homebuilt guitar I have. It was two things early on. I found out it was a bit wider that the nut I had. So I had a choice to either sand the titanium nut or the guitar's slot. I carefully filed the guitar nut slot wider. Once I got it seated, I noticed that it was too low for the slot. (and no I didn't make the slot deeper). I had to shim it some to get the first position 1st E string not to buzz. I don't plan on changing this out again any time soon. This particular nut is lower on the high string side. I can't say whom this will or will not work for. For most this is probably not a drop in guitar part.

Works great with my Bigsby B5 equipped Tele partscaster.. Needed to file a bit to sit it it’s place. By reducing the width & height. Installed on a budget friendly neck bought here on Amazon. I liked the GraphTech graphite nut I had. Just wanted to experiment. After a week I decided to leave it on due it’s look more than anything else. Plus, tuning stability has not changed at all.

Parece muito bem feito, fora o material que e top, porem nao coube no meu violao, apenas em guitarras do qual e citado na descricao, queria muito um de titanium para meu violao!

Perfect size just the job reccomended

Looks good, I haven't fitted it to a guitar yet. Received it in a timely manner.

I like this but it may not be for all players
