## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the differnce between this and 5010-00, they are both listed for Fender Strat?**
A: The 42mm flat bottom nut is narrower (this dimension is listed as length) compared to the 5010-00 which is 1.764" or 44.81mm. The 42mm or 1.65" is intended to fit import Fender and Squier models and is made of standard Tusq material whereas the 5010-00 is made of TusqXL which is teflon impregnated and permanently lubricated thus the higher price. Keep in mind, they tend make them a little long so you can sand the ends flush with your fingerboard.

**Q: Will this fit 7.25 radius necks?**
A: My opinion is no.  I think I used this on a 12" radius strat neck. Check the graphtech website. It will give you a better idea which one will fit.  I don't know if they make 7.5" radius nut for strats/teles.  You may have to try a 9.5" radius one and sand the bottom to the radius of your fretboard. I have put graphtech nuts on all of my fender guitars. It is an upgrade.

**Q: My nut dimensions are 42mm wide, 3.5mm thick and 5mm tall. Will this work?**
A: It say the length is 42mm or 1.65 " so that is what you want. This nut fits The import Strat's, and Tele's, like Squire.

**Q: Is this nut size available in a tusq xl version?**
A: It says the Nut is 42mm in length and it fits import Strat's and Tele's like the Squire.
