cinealma Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Hi: I picked up a Dot Studio last week at GC and I'm doing a little "upgrading". Replacing the plastic nut is a cheap job and pretty much a no-brainer. Many have suggested the Black Tusq XL's. Now, I'm not planning to but a Bigsby on this baby anytime soon, but you never know. I know the XL's are meant more for trem quitars, but I've also heard great things about them on non-trem as far as tone and tuning. So to my question: Can anyone point me to the right model number for an "already cut" Black Tusq XL for the Dot Studio at ANY online shop? Thanks for the time and help! Cheers! John G.

Ron G Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Judging by my Dot Studio, it looks like GraphTech part number PT-6060-00. The measurements, including string spacing, look correct. Look here: http://www.graphtech.com/products.html?SubCategoryID=8 If you do a Google search for that part number, you'll find several places that sell it.

For the OP,I just compared the measurements of my nut with the specs on the GraphTech website. I recommend measuring your nut to be (relatively) sure.

Axe2Grind123 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 There's a "Guitar Finder" on the GraphTech site, but is doesn't list the Dot Studio model, only regular Dot. Not sure if you want to assume it's the same. Best thing is to measure it, but I hope you have some accurate measuring device handy, I was afraid to go with what my tape measurer was telling me . . .
