## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrifyingly brilliant
*by C***. on 23 January 2025*

Absolutely fantastic, well worth the money. Literally no noise from the top end, no pinging, nothing at all. Tuning has never been so enjoyable. Massive upgrade to the stock nut on my 2013 Squire Strat

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality
*by M***S on 17 October 2024*

Nice tight fit in a HB TE52 after a little sanding on the fret board side. Needed a little edge sanding as well. Perfectly cut slots for frets 1 2 3 tuning accuracy. Tuning stability excellent. Worth the cost for a quality upgrade to budget guitars.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Nut, Great Improvement.
*by B***D on 17 April 2022*

Got this for an old Encore strat I got in a charity shop as a mod project.The nut really has made a vast improvement both tonally and with tuning stability.It will need sanding down to fit most guitars but this was relatively straight forward (I sanded from the bottom to get the correct height, rather than filing the already well crafted slots)Very pleased with this purchase and the improvements to tone and stability were more than expected. Would recommend!
