Description
Enhance your left-handed electric guitar performance with the Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL Slotted Strat Style Guitar Nut Model PT-5000-L0. Engineered specifically for Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster style instruments, this premium nut is manufactured from a proprietary polymer material impregnated with PTFE.
This self-lubricating design significantly minimizes string binding, catching, and pinging during intense bends or tremolo use, delivering superior tuning stability.

Pre-slotted for quick installation with a curved bottom profile, it offers reliable consistency across every string slot for demanding musicians seeking professional upgrades.

awesome quality upgrade
gifted this lefty nut to my wife for her telecaster project since she was facing string binding issues during heavy bends. packing was safe and delivery was super fast. she installed it by sanding the bottom slightly for her specific slot height and now the tuning stability is rock solid. great stuff.

good replacement part
This was my first time trying a polymer nut with PTFE impregnation on my left-handed strat. The self-lubricating property is real and it definitely stops string pinging entirely. Deducting one star only because the pre-slotted piece required quite a bit of manual fine-tuning with sandpaper to get the action sitting properly low, but the resulting bell-like highs and harmonic sustain are well worth the effort.
FAQs
What guitars are compatible with the Graph Tech PT-5000-L0 nut?
This left-handed slotted nut is specifically designed to fit almost all Fender-style left-handed electric guitars, including Stratocaster and Telecaster models featuring a curved bottom profile.
Does this guitar nut require professional installation?
While the nut comes pre-slotted for quick setup, minor sanding of the bottom surface may be required to match your specific guitar's action height. Many players install it themselves, though professional luthier assistance is an option for precise calibration.
How does Black TUSQ XL improve tuning stability?
The material is permanently impregnated with microscopic PTFE lubricants that release continuously as strings move across the slots, eliminating friction and preventing strings from getting caught or binding.
