A "vintage" upgrade to stabilize tuning and feel
The string nut is a key point between the tuning machines and the neck: it directly influences tuning stability, the accuracy of open notes, and the feel under the left hand. With this Fender nut made of genuine bone, you are choosing a material valued for its density and response, ideal for restoring a "vintage" behavior on an electric guitar like a Stratocaster or Telecaster. The pre-slotted notches provide a practical starting point while allowing a technician to fine-tune the height and width of the slots according to your string gauge and action.
To ensure a clean installation (without unwanted buzzing or friction points), an adjustment is normal: every guitar has its own tolerances, and a nut is often finalized during installation. The result: more consistent string-to-nut contact, better tuning stability, and more coherent intonation on open strings.
