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.

One of the key causes of tuning frustration is string binding at the nut.  TUSQ XL is impregnated with PTFE, the slipperiest substance on earth and alleviates the binding grip the nut has on the strings.  Strings simply glide back into tune!

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.
