Have you ever wondered what metal the Liberty Bell is made of? What material any "real" bell is made of? Usually BRASS. And why is that material used? Because it "rings"! Because its perfect for converting mechanical energy into acoustic energy. That's why many professional guitarists use brass guitar nuts. It has a noticeable improvement on sustain and tone. A huge improvement over the cheap stock plastic nuts supplied with most axes.

Plastic guitar nuts are notorious for slipping within the neck slot. Glue shrinks as it ages and loses it's grip.  And the nut MUST be locked in the neck slot or the result will be unstable tuning, broken strings, etc. Our series of v-shaped grooves in the bottom of the nut, grab the neck slot and hold on tight.

And Compensation for Superior Tuning!

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?  Or an open G. A properly compensated nut will help correct this. As our fix, we v-slot just ahead of the 3 treble string slots.  Those three strings are usually the trouble-makers.  The v-slots give you just enough extra scale length to help you achieve the intonation that you need.

Our flat-bottom nut is handmade from solid brass and round-slotted for perfect string placement. All hand-made - no machines. Very attractive brushed surface finish.  1 11/16" long, 5/16" tall, 3/16" thick.  Please let us know if you need different - happy to make it for you!
