Graph Tech TUSQ Nut Slab 1/8 in.

The PQ-4125-00 is a 1/8" thick block or slab of pure TUSQ that can be used to make a nut, small saddle or just about anything you can imagine. TUSQ nuts and saddles have rich tone without the inconsistency found in ivory, bone and other natural materials. Bone and ivory have hard and soft spots (grain) throughout each piece, hampering consistent transfer of vibrations to the guitar top. TUSQ nuts, saddles and bridge pins are designed to transfer the right frequencies more efficiently from the string to the guitar body.
