TUSQ XL STRAT/TELE STYLE SLOTTED NUT - AGED: PQL-5000-AG
Finally, the breakthrough you've
been waiting for. Now you can have it all - the great tone of TUSQ,
classic good looks AND permanent lubrication. If you love the look of a
vintage white nut, but you keep going out of tune when you bend
strings or use your tremolo, then TUSQ XL is just what you need.
TUSQ XL is designed to boost guitar tone and performance. This
precision engineered nut is made with a specially formulated material
which couples the strings' vibrations to the neck and brings out the
hidden harmonics and richness in every note. It is based on the highly
resonant TUSQ man made ivory, but is impregnated with Teflon to improve
the tuning performance of the guitar.<.P
Other nut materials have a tendency to bind the strings in their slots.
When you are tuning your guitar you might hear the tell tale "ping" of
the strings releasing under tension or have difficulty keeping your
guitar in tune when using a tremolo or doing string bends. There are
many temporary solutions to this problem, but wouldn't you rather a
permanent one? TUSQ XL has Teflon lubrication impregnated all the way
through the material (Teflon is the slipperiest substance on
earth...500 times more slippery than graphite.), so you never have to
worry about string binding at the nut again. Since the Teflon is
impregnated right through the material, it doesn't matter if you sand
or file to a different shape, it will keep on working. So go ahead and
use that tremolo or do massive string bends with the confidence that
you will stay in tune.

Guitar makers
and players agree...acoustic guitars come alive with TUSQ man-made
ivory. TUSQ is simply more efficient at transferring vibrations to your
guitar top, resulting in big open lows and clear bell like highs.
Bone and Ivory nuts and saddles have one inherent problem - they're
made from organic materials, and therefore have inconsistent soft or
dead spots because of their natural grain. TUSQ nuts, saddles and
bridge pins are precision engineered under high pressure and heat,
specifically to govern which frequencies are transferred to your guitar
top (tone), and which frequencies remain in the strings (sustain).
TUSQ is consistent from piece to piece, and within each piece, to offer
you harmonically rich tones without the problems associated with
natural materials.
