Hello from MusicianAtHeart! Guitar intonation is an often overlooked procedure which, when done properly, helps you get each string properly tuned. This means that your guitar sounds great regardless of whether you're fretting or playing open chords. How many times have you been playing, sounding great, when you bounce into an open C chord and suddenly the tuning sounds terrible? Yup - us too!
A properly compensated nut will help fix this. In our experience, the three treble strings are typically the most bothersome with respect to intonation. Who knows why, they simply are. So, we've specially slotted our compensated nut at the G, B and high E slots. By removing material to the proper depth in those three slots, the scale length for those strings is increased just enough. Now, even if saddle travel is nearing the end, you'll still get the intonation "just right".
Our Nut measures: 0.23" thick, 0.33" tall, 1.69" long and EtoE Length is 1.375”. (6.0 x 8.5 x 43.0 x 34.9mm)
Please be sure to check your current Nut to make sure that this will fit.
Need a Saddle? Want bone bridge pins as well? Want your nut partly compensated? Fully compensated? Need a lefty nut? Just reach out, happy to help accordingly. Thanks!

Below is a very kind note we'd like to share from a happy buyer of one of our Compensated nuts:
"I installed the compensated nut today I bought from you. Not only did it perfectly solve my intonation problem, but it also made the guitar string action lower and as smooth as butter! My intonation problem "was bad". I installed one of the Golden Age Roller bridges because it had more intonation adjustment travel than most others. Well,....that bridge didn't solve the problem, so I checked out the truss rod and it was okay. I knew at that point the problem had to be in the nut. I had tried 5 different nuts before I bought your compensated nut. None of the other nuts worked, but yours worked absolutely perfect. And now my intonation, string action, and tone are PERFECT! Thanks for designing this and sharing it with the public. I was just about to give up on this guitar until I installed the compensated nut. Now, I wouldn't get rid of it for the world!" Thank you so much! - Kevin
