Graph Tech PQ-6010-00 White TUSQ Pre-Slotted Pre-2014 Gibson-Style Nut

Best for

A measured pre-2014 Gibson-style electric guitar or similar compatible application needing a standard white TUSQ pre-slotted nut with 43.6 × 4.85 × 9.45 mm starting dimensions, 35.87 mm string spacing and a 16-inch radius.

Who should skip

Skip it for post-2014 Gibson-style guitars that need the taller 6011 family, Epiphone-style slots needing the wider 6060 family, left-handed applications, slots that do not match these measurements, a different radius or spacing, or when white/black/aged TUSQ XL rather than standard TUSQ is required.

Watchouts

Use PQ-6010-00 / 702725101153 for this standard white TUSQ variant. Do not transfer identifiers from PQL-6010-00, PT-6010-00 or PQL-6010-AG. Use the exact manufacturer's R-16 specification rather than the legacy 18-inch listing copy. Bottom geometry is not claimed because the page does not label it.

Likely add-ons

• precision measuring tools
• fine sanding and nut-fitting tools
• nut files appropriate to final string gauges and slot depth
• qualified guitar technician when fitting and setup skills are unavailable

Verify before buying

• Was the Gibson-style electric guitar made before 2014?
• Does its slot accept a nut starting at 43.6 × 4.85 × 9.45 mm?
• Are 35.87 mm six-string spacing and a 16-inch radius correct?
• Is standard white TUSQ the intended material rather than a TUSQ XL variant?
• Can the installer complete final fitting, slot-depth adjustment and setup?
