hmm.. magsand ka sa straight or flat na surface.. and hold it tight and flat.. ayun.. wag ka magmadali sa pagsand.. from time to time, check mo kung naka-align pa.. get a ruler/straight edge din to check..  :-)
make sure that you're applying equal pressure sa buong nut para pag nagsand ka, hindi mangyayari na may part na mas ubos kaysa sa ibang part kahit sa flat surface ka naman nagsand..

yes, pwedeng higher grade muna then lower grade to smoothen it up.. ingat lang, baka mawili ng pag sand sa higher grade..  :-)

ah, so what ill do is ilagay ko sa lapag/flat surface ang sandpaper tapos yung nut ang ikikiskis ko ?

thanks!

I like GHS Progressives.  :-D

i like rin, mas trip ko lang ang boomers, pero pag strings, basta ghs ako hehe.. mas brighter lang ata ang progressives. pero after playing kanina yung guitar ko with new strings and nut, parang trip ko muna ang progressives ngayon.

ewan ko ha, parang ang solid ng tunog kagabi ng guitar ko, its maybe the new strings, maybe the new nut, or a combination of both..

and yes, i installed it myself, binasa ko yung sa kuya mo at ngtanong tanong ako,
i was able to save 500 pesos from luthiers and bought a 14.50 sandpaper lang, and with the use of elmers glue, ayan na siya. its not as pulido like sa mga luthiers, but i got the job done :-D :-D :-D

bro.. read the whole thread.. dami comments at testimonials ng graphtech users both here sa philmusic pati sa iba pang foreign forums..
first and foremost, tuning stability.. may something kasi sa composition nung nut na self lubricating kaya hindi sumasabit yung strings sa nut slots.. it might seem like a little deal, pero in reality, it's a big deal..  :-)

next is the tone.. since sa nut directly nakasuspend yung strings, it has an effect sa pagvivibrate and all.. just a couple of words to describe it, CLEARER TONES.

NOW AVAILABLE!!!

Looking for a white TUSQ XL? It's now available!




"We are exclusively using TUSQ XL on all of our 2010 models in an effort to bring our clients the ultimate in custom guitars.  We feel that TUSQ XL nuts definitely improve sustain and string longevity" - Mike Kurkdijan - President of Prestige Guitars


Finally, the breakthrough you've been waiting for.  Now you can have it all - the great tone of TUSQ, classic good looks AND permanent lubrication.  If you love the look of a vintage white nut, but you keep going out of tune when you bend strings or use your tremolo, then TUSQ XL is just what you need.

TUSQ XL is designed to boost guitar tone and performance. This precision engineered nut is made with a specially formulated material which couples the strings' vibrations to the neck and brings out the hidden harmonics and richness in every note. It is based on the highly resonant TUSQ man made ivory, but is impregnated with Teflon to improve the tuning performance of the guitar.

How does it work?

Other nut materials have a tendency to bind the strings in their slots. When you are tuning your guitar you might hear the tell tale "ping" of the strings releasing under tension or have difficulty keeping your guitar in tune when using a tremolo or doing string bends. There are many temporary solutions to this problem, but wouldn't you rather a permanent one? TUSQ XL has Teflon lubrication impregnated all the way through the material (Teflon is the slipperiest substance on earth...500 times more slippery than graphite.), so you never have to worry about string binding at the nut again. Since the Teflon is impregnated right through the material, it doesn't matter if you sand or file to a different shape, it will keep on working. So go ahead and use that tremolo or do massive string bends with the confidence that you will stay in tune.

How does it sound?

TUSQ XL will bring out hidden harmonics in your guitar. The highly resonant material couples your strings' vibration to the neck better than anything else. You will hear more richness from every note, especially on open strings.

How do I fit my guitar?

Take some measurements according to the diagram below and match them up to the measurements listed under the part description. Don't be concerned about a little extra length or height as this is easily sanded with fine sandpaper to adjust for a perfect fit. Just be sure that you have enough length and height. The most important measurement for slotted nuts is the E to E spacing followed by the width (or thickness).
