Graph Tech TUSQ XL Yamaha Pacifica Electric Guitar Top Nut
The 6041-00 is the perfect option to replace and upgrade the nut on your Yamaha Pacifica electric guitar and similar guitars.
What exactly is TUSQ?
Traditionally, guitar nuts and saddles are crafted from natural materials such as bone, ivory and other organic materials.
Due to their natural state, these materials tend to be inconsistent from one piece to another in the form of soft and hard areas. No two pieces of bone are the same. From a musical standpoint, this can dramatically affect the tonal response across the nut or saddle and therefore its ability to effectively transfer the vibrations of the string to the instrument.
In a bid to combat these issues, the TUSQ range was born. All TUSQ nuts are precision engineered and specially formulated to improve upon these imperfections and some more. Its unique properties deliver other numerous benefits which dramatically enhance a guitar's natural range and response across the whole tonal spectrum along with improved harmonic sustain. The material itself is also self-lubricating and is said to be 500% more slippery than graphite and helps prevent strings from binding or sticking in the nut which often lead to tuning issues.
TUSQ nuts come in the form of pre-slotted nuts, blank nuts (no string slots) and saddle slabs so you can sand and craft your own exacting nut shape for your guitar if you would prefer. TUSQ is a very versatile material so can be easily sanded down using various grades of sandpaper (240 to 400 grades are recommended).
The pre-slotted nuts are made to suit a wide variety of electric, acoustic and bass guitars manufactured today so you don't have to make the string slots yourself. The 6-string nuts are designed to accept string gauges from;
- 09-42 to 11-49 for electric guitars
- 10-47 upto 12-53 for acoustic guitars
- 40-95 and 50-105 gauge for bass guitars
If your usual gauge is a little larger than these sizes, the nut slots are designed so they can easily be modified to your specific string gauge simply by using the correct nut file size.
