Crafted from advanced Black TUSQ XL material, it reduces string friction via a thin Teflon film, enhancing tuning stability and string longevity. Its polished finish and optimized vibration transfer deliver richer, more authentic guitar tones, making it a must-have upgrade for serious players seeking professional-grade sound and reliability. ## Description PT-5043-00 is the perfect replacement BLACK TUSQ XL nut for fender style strats or telecasters. The bottom (adhesive side) has no angle to the fingerboard. Pre-slotted and ready for use with minimal processing The BLACK TUSQ XL series creates a thin Teflon film on the contact surface due to friction by moving the strings on the nut. It acts as a lubricant so that the string will not be locked to the nut more than necessary, reducing the stress that tends to be focused on a single point. This makes the string less likely to break and makes tuning more stable. It transmits string vibration to the body most efficiently, pulling out the original sound of your instrument without loss, from bouncy highs to rich bass. It has more magnifying compounds than traditional ones to restore great sound that has been lost. [Note] For some products, the end of the model number has been changed from -00 to -C0.
