Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Made for left-handed Fender-style electric guitars, the PQ-5000-L0 is a pre-slotted six-string TUSQ replacement nut. It can be used in either a flat-bottom or curved-bottom nut slot; for the curved option, sand away the tab. The pre-cut slots keep the installation focused on matching the nut to the guitar rather than cutting each slot from a blank. TUSQ is designed to transfer string frequencies efficiently to the guitar body and avoid the grain variation found in natural materials.
