Graph Tech PQL-4011-00 White TUSQ XL Gibson-Style Nut Blank

Best for

A measured Gibson-style or compatible acoustic-guitar repair or build that requires a white TUSQ XL blank, an R-12 profile and finished dimensions that can be shaped from 47.36 × 4.84 × 9.29 mm stock.

Who should skip

Skip it when the required finished nut exceeds the stock dimensions, the R-12 profile is unsuitable, a black material or pre-slotted nut is required, or the installer lacks the tools and skill to shape and slot a nut blank.

Watchouts

Use PQL-4011-00 / 702725247165 for this white TUSQ XL blank. PT-4011-00 is the black material sibling, and 6011-series parts are pre-slotted siblings rather than this fabrication blank.

Likely add-ons

• precision measuring tools
• fine abrasive and nut-shaping tools
• nut files appropriate to the selected string gauges
• qualified guitar technician when fabrication and setup skills are unavailable

Verify before buying

• Can the required finished nut be shaped from 47.36 × 4.84 × 9.29 mm stock?
• Does the instrument require the published R-12 profile?
• Is an un-slotted blank appropriate for the repair or build?
• Who will complete final sanding, shaping, string-slot cutting and setup?
• Is white TUSQ XL the intended material variant?
