TUSQ delivers a rich tone, crystal clear bell like high end with big open lows and a significant increase in harmonic content and harmonic sustain. Increase harmonics equals more richness and character in your tone. Its the difference between a four piece choir and a twelve piece choir singing every time your play a note. Please note that all Graph Tech nuts are slightly long and wide to ensure?extra room to achieve a perfect fit for your guitar. This extra material can easily removed with fine grit sandpaper.
