hi dark_7!

bone nuts are good! the only issue with that is it's not as consistent... meaning, bone nut A can never be the same with bone nut B, C. etc... and eventually they'll break because the material is organic... but they are good...

Graphtech nuts are made of man-made ivory infused with Teflon... which means that you get a consistent tone, you reduce string breakage, you improve the tuning of your guitar... and it's not organic so it will last you a long time...

asking which is better will still depend on your ears (if you're talking about tonality)...

I'm a happy camper once again.

I picked up my Graphtech TUSQ XL Nut and Black TUSQ XL string trees 3 hours ago from LBC. Installed it an 1 hour after I got home. I worked on my guitar for about 1 hour. I removed the stock plastic nut from my Squier telecaster, and all I can say is that the nut was crap. It broke after I removed it from my guitar. I sanded a portion underneath the graphtech nut that I would use to replace the plastic nut. There's a really big difference in plastic nuts and Graphtech. They just feel more solid.

The TUSQ XL nut was a bit lengthier than the stock plastic nut, but i didn't sand it anymore. Maliit lang naman talaga yung excess. It doesn't bother me. I held it with wood glue and a capo while I sanded my fretboard with steel wool, and applied lemon oil afterwards. The fretboard looked very dry before, but now it looks better. Installed the Black TUSQ XL string trees. One of the screws was a bit short, so I used the stock screw from the previous string trees.

Same results that I had before.

1. Better clean tone
2. Increased tuning stability

Sobra. I haven't stretched my strings yet. They're still in tune.

Yup. Kanina nagpalit din ako ng strings, hindi ko pa na stretch masyado strings pero ayun nga nakatono pa rin

Is there a Black TUSQ nut that could be a direct fit/replacement for the nut on a Wizard Prestige neck?

You're going to need a PT-6643-00 nut. Check the dimensions of your stock nut. Pero ito yung nilagay ko sa Wizard II neck ng RG321MH ko. Direct replacement, in terms of nut width and E-E spacing. Yung nut height, kailangan mo pa i-sand para tumama.
