One of the key causes
of tuning frustration is string binding at the nut. Black Tusq XL alleviates
the binding grip of the nut on the string and reducing friction between
the nut material and the string. This is accomplished using a nut
manufactured from an engineered resonant base material impregnated with
Teflon. As strings move across a Black Tusq XL nut, they shear open microscopic
“capsules” loaded with millions of “ball bearing” type lubricants. For
strings, it’s like a hardwood floor covered in marbles... strings roll
back into tune. It’s that simple! Black Tusq XL nuts are factory-installed by
many major guitar manufacturers including Carvin, Parker Guitars, Brian
Moore Custom Guitars, Steinberger, and the Fender Custom Shop for good
reason: TREM-NUT will keep your guitar in tune longer than graphite,
bone plastic or synthetic nuts. In addition, Black Tusq XL has crystal
clear tone and sustain.
