Black nut material on MIK Sheratons

Recommended Posts

hey, folks. just got an '88 MIK Epi Sheraton and was wondering what material its black-colored nut is made of?? thanks...

 

Perhaps Graph Tech or Delrin? I would guess the nut has been changed as my '89 Sheraton's nut is white, and original.

Graph Tech is not a type of material

 

That came from Dan Erlewine's "How To Make Your Electric Guitar Play Great" book. On page 62 "... a nut made from self-lubricating material like Graph Tech.".

 

That's why I mentioned it, but didn't realize that it wasn't a type of material. Sorry...

That was probably from the time when Graph Tech made only Tusq nuts. Now they also have Nu Bone, which is a type of Tusq anyway, so I don't think it's incorrect to think of Graph Tech as a type of material when you're thinking about nuts, even though that is the company name. Can't tell much from your pic, but from what I can see it looks like that could be Tusq. Does it play OK?
