Graph Tech PT-4202-00 Black TUSQ XL Unslotted Guitar Nut Blank

Best for

Custom-fabricated black guitar nuts when the required finished dimensions fit within a 48.85 × 4.9 × 7.74 mm unslotted blank.

Who should skip

Skip it when a pre-slotted or drop-in nut is required, when the finished nut must exceed any blank dimension, when white TUSQ is preferred, or when the installer cannot shape and slot a blank accurately.

Watchouts

PT-4202-00 is the black, unslotted Black TUSQ XL variant. Do not confuse it with white PQ-4202-00. The published R-15 value describes the blank's top geometry and is not a universal drop-in fretboard-fit guarantee.

Likely add-ons

• precision measuring tools
• nut shaping and sanding tools
• nut slotting files sized for the intended strings

Verify before buying

• Can the required finished nut be shaped from 48.85 × 4.9 × 7.74 mm?
• Is an unslotted blank appropriate for this repair?
• What final string spacing, slot depths and top profile does the instrument require?
• Is Black TUSQ XL the intended material and color?
• Can the installer accurately shape and slot the blank?
