Graph Tech PT-6011-00 Black TUSQ XL Post-2014 Gibson-Style Nut

Best for

Measured replacement or upgrade work on compatible post-2014 Gibson electric guitars needing a black, permanently lubricated, pre-slotted six-string nut.

Who should skip

Skip it when the existing nut dimensions, 35.77 mm string spacing or R-12 geometry do not match, when a pre-2014 6010-00 profile is required, or when a light-colour PQL-6011-00 variant is wanted.

Watchouts

PT-6011-00 is the black right-handed variant. Do not confuse it with light-colour PQL-6011-00 or the shorter pre-2014 6010-00 family. Manufacturer guidance still requires dimensional comparison; sanding the bottom may be needed.

Likely add-ons

• nut-fitting and string-slot tools appropriate to the instrument
• adhesive only when required by the instrument maker or qualified installer

Verify before buying

• Does the existing nut measure approximately 43.83 × 4.69 × 10.3 mm?
• Does 35.77 mm string spacing and R-12 radius match the instrument?
• Is the Gibson electric guitar post-2014 rather than requiring the shorter 6010-00 family?
• Is a right-handed black six-string pre-slotted nut required?
• Can the installer perform final sanding and string-slot setup?
