Graphtech TUSQ XL PQL-5000-00 White String Nut

The PQL-5000-00 is a perfect option to replace and upgrade the nut in almost all Fender style electric guitars. It will work in both a flat bottom or curved bottom nut slot due to it's ingenious design. It is pre-slotted to make for a quick and easy install. TUSQ XL is engineered from the same material as TUSQ and is impregnated with PTFE which is five times more slippery than graphite. It has all the tonal benefits of TUSQ, bringing out the hidden harmonics of your guitar all while drastically improving tuning performance. TUSQ XL is consistent from piece to piece, and within each piece, to offer you harmonically rich tones without the problems associated with natural materials. Dimensions: 42,93 x 3,26 x 5,08 mm. E to e: 35,05 mm.

"The Graph Tech TUSQ XL PQL-5000-00 is one of those upgrade parts that doesn't look major at first glance - but once installed, it gives the guitar a more professional feel. I used it on a FenderTelecaster style guitar and the difference from a regular plastic fretboard was immediately noticeable. The strings move smoothly in the grooves, tuning is more stable, and the guitar is less out of tune when bending or playing more aggressively. Sonically, it delivers a tighter attack, better sustain, and a more open tone from the open strings. A big plus is the TUSQ XL material - it feels more consistent than cheap plastic frets, while not being overly sharp like some metal options. However, you have to take into account that precise seating and possible fine-tuning of the groove height is necessary for a perfect result. Once properly adjusted, though, it's an upgrade that really makes sense. For me, excellent value for money and one of the best adjustments for improving tuning stability and overall feel." 🎸
