Graph Tech TUSQ PQ- 5040-00 Guitar Nut BK

I bought this Graph Tech TUSQ Guitar Nut for my early 2000's Squire bullet strat which had a plastic nut to kick off a long road ahead of modding with the simple goal of getting some better tone out of it.

For the price and difference in sound for such a simple mod really makes it a no brainer.

The open strings sound quite a bit brighter and the sustain has increased considerably.

My pickups are quite low powered and when i stumble upon a heap of cash lying around I'll look into those, but even unplugged i can hear a more crisp sound after installing the nut.

I would highly recommend TUSQ nuts to replace plastic ones or if you need a new one for what ever reason.
