Review: Perfect fit for Squier SE Strat - Bought this nut to replace the original nut in a 2000s Squier SE Strat with 22 frets (full thickness body). The old nut came straight out with little effort leaving a clean nut slot. This was an almost straight replacement, it was just a tiny bit too thick to drop in. The old nut was 3.17mm thick, the Graphtech nut was 3.22mm; it just needed a bit of sanding to take off 0.05mm. Then it dropped in for a snug fit, no glue required to hold in place. String spacing is perfect, and no slot filing required, string heights are pretty much spot on. No other shaping required. Performance is excellent so far, just as expected. ## Features - GraphTech Tusq ~ Man-Made Ivory Guitar Nuts - PQ-5042-00 - 42mm ST style flat bottom - Guitar makers and players agree... guitars come alive with TUSQ man-made ivory. - TUSQ delivers the optimum frequencies from the strings to the guitar top, producing richer and fuller tone. - TUSQ is simply more efficient at transferring vibrations to your guitar top, resulting in big open lows and clear bell like highs ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004HR1MY0 | | Best Sellers Rank | 3,057 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 46 in Electric Guitar Parts | | Brand | Graphtech | | Brand Name | Graphtech | | Colour | white or off-white | | Compatible Groove Diameter | 42 Millimeters | | Country Of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 479 Reviews | | Fastener Type | Flat | | Fastener type | Flat | | Finish Types | Polished | | Finish type | Polished | | Item Diameter | 42 Millimetres | | Item Dimensions | 42 x 3 x 5 millimetres | | Item Weight | 5 g | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 42 x 3 x 5 millimetres | | Manufacturer | Graph Tech | | Manufacturer Part Number | PQ-5042-00 | | Material | Nickel | | Material Type | Nickel | | Model Number | PQ-5042-00 | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Outside Diameter | 42 Millimetres | | Screw Head Style | Strat | | Size | 0.13 inches x 1.65 inches x 0.2 inches | | UPC | 702725120888 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** GRAPH TECH GUITAR LABS - **Colour:** white or off-white - **Item weight:** 0.01 Pounds - **Material:** Nickel - **Style:** Single ## Images ![TUSQ by Graph Tech Nut 42mm Flat B0ttom Strat Nut PQ-5042-00 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41mWaIHRWSL.jpg) ![TUSQ by Graph Tech Nut 42mm Flat B0ttom Strat Nut PQ-5042-00 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41mJdReT0bL.jpg) ![TUSQ by Graph Tech Nut 42mm Flat B0ttom Strat Nut PQ-5042-00 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/418Q5qdIsAL.jpg) ![TUSQ by Graph Tech Nut 42mm Flat B0ttom Strat Nut PQ-5042-00 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41ok8r5KCRL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For strat style necks *by M***S on 29 June 2025* Nice nut, needs some filing using proper nut slot files to get the desired action (but that's a given) fit nicely in my Aria pro series strat style guitar, did have to sand it down just a hair, using a flat surface to bring the width down. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect fit for Squier SE Strat *by S***M on 6 April 2023* Bought this nut to replace the original nut in a 2000s Squier SE Strat with 22 frets (full thickness body).
