Alnicov 42MM Unbleached Pure Bone Nut Guitar Slotted Bone Nut For Strat Tele Electric Guitar 42X3.5MM

It's always a crapshoot when you're ordering guitar parts that aren't made by the big OEM manufacturers, but I've gotten more comfortable with the "Alnicov" stuff over the last year or two, especially with my Cigar Box Guitar builds. They, along with Guyker and Fleuor, seem to be pretty consistent and have not disappointed. For this particular purchase, I went with these instead of some of the others, mainly because of the price, but also because the specs were clear in the product description. While sometimes I still occasionally run into something that's slightly off tolerance-wise, I was happy that these fit perfectly. I didn't have to file or sand the nut or the slot on the guitar at all to get it to fit in snugly but also easily without having to force it one way or the other. So I can't confirm whether it's pure bone or whatever, but by the look and feel of it, I am inclined to believe it is, meaning it will last for many years to come. And the slots on the nut were already cut close enough for my needs on this guitar, so I didn't see any need to adjust them. The guitar I was having to work on was one of my backup guitars for a cover act I play with, and I had cobbled together a cool partscaster made to resemble Kurt Cobain's Reading Festival black Stratocaster. I, of course, haven't tried to go out of my way to relic it with all of the bumps, bruises and damage his head (prior to being smashed), nor have I duct taped the strap or anything like that. I might add some details here and there over the course of the next few months, but I just wanted it to be a basic, familiar looking representation. But instead of making it a mirror version out of her right handed guitar body and parts, I wanted it to be a genuine left-handed guitar, and I would flip it Hendrix style. The original nut that was on the guitar was fine, but when I flipped it around, the way it was cut put the strings' break angle at the headstock at a funny position, about a millimeter off from where it was supposed to be, so it really screwed with the intonation badly. I decided I bona fide right-handed nut was the only logical answer. Thankfully I was right, and once I slid this nut into place and tuned up the guitar, it was almost perfect. Intonation issues were gone, and even the string height was acceptable without having to adjust the slots. Easiest fix or upgrade I've ever had to do. Now I can actually play this guitar, in tune, and enjoy it. Highly recommend for your Strat style guitar.

It’s good quality.

Held up well to sanding and fit fender basic guitar. Would not use on my new strat due to slot sizes too small

I didn't know what to expect for the price, but this bone nut is fantastic. Instantly my guitar tone quality was vastly improved. I love it. It was a bit nerve-wracking to change the nut myself, but I made sure the nut was well set in the correct position while the glue was still wet. Would recommend, would buy again.

John 3:16 NIV for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God Romans 3:23 NIV And I give them eternal life, and they will never, ever [by any means] perish; and no one will ever snatch them out of My hand.

Works great, a bit of light sanding fit good string height good, you have extra if you mess one up.

they exactly fit the slot in my Squier strat. Very minor filing in slots to put strings at right height.

Replacing the guitar nut is kind of a delicate project, but it worked great. I broke one first before getting the hang of it. Just be a little gentle.

This is real bone, and finishes well. Slots are deep enough to use as drop in. Measure twice, though. I measured my old nut from the end, and these are measured from center. Because they’re radiused (looks like 9.5) I had to shim it by 2mm- which I was not happy about.

I repair and set up guitars so use many of these items so this is a regular supplier that I have found to be reliable and a product that is very good quality and has great resonance and has improved the sound on many guitars I have worked on. They are also almost the perfect fit for most guitars but are easily filed to size for more bespoke instruments. Highly recommend

Arrivati in tempi veloci non me lo aspettavo. I capotasti sono fatti veramente bene con la spaziatura tra le corde perfetta. C'è da lavorarci di fino con calma e pazienza per assottigliarli in modo da poter essere incastrati perfettamente nello scanso del manico. Se fossero stati mezzo millimetro più alti sarebbero stati perfetti. Ho dovuto smussare un po' l'angolo alla base sulla lunghezza in entrambi i lati per fare in modo che andassero a battuta precisi. Si lavorano molto bene e sono veramente in osso molto denso. In una nottata e con le corde ben intinonate si è assestato ed e migliorata l'aderenza al manico. Ovviamente ho dovuto poi lavorare un po' l'algolazione dello scanso delle corde in modo che non friggessero poi un po' di grafite con matita a punta fine. Uso molto le accordature aperte od accordi aperti e si sente la differenza sulla corda che suona libera sul capotasto. Consiglio di lavorare con estrema calma si fa presto a superare la misura ma fate pure attenzione a non scheggiare il legno. Non ho usato colla per fissarlo Ottimo prezzo

Gute Qualität

Super produit en remplacement d'un sillet plastique d'une squier strat du début 2000. Ce n'est pas précisé sur l'annonce mais vendu par 3!!!!!c'est une super affaire !!

Cuidado que la altura de la cejuela de hueso es muy baja y para una guitarra con trastero nuevo... Quedan demasiado bajas, primero verificar muy bien, por un milímetro no me valen.
