These bone nut blanks came promptly and were identical and well-cut. Super handy for DIY Luthier work. Others complained of inconsistency. These were identical and beautiful. They did measure 5.8 mm thick, not 6mm as advertised, but for me there was PLENTY of material to work with.

My J-45 Studio came with a tusq saddle, so I bought these to upgrade. The quality seems very good. Coloration is consistent. The only problem I have is they are not oversized enough. Thickness is just under 3.0mm, length had plenty extra, but the height was barely enough. Basically, the thickness and the height leave no room for adjustment...none. if I wanted to raise my action a nanometer, I couldn't do it with this product. It worked, and worked well, but rather than work it down to the size I wanted, I had to be careful not to make a single extra stroke on the height.On a positive note, though, it DID fit and the price and quality are very good.

I bought these bone blanks to make a nut for my 12 string electric guitar. These blanks are approximately 1/4 inch by 1/2 inch by 2 inches... and my guitar nut was about 1/8 inch by 3/16 inch by 1 7/8 inch... which means I had to remove a LOT of material to get it down to size. But that's a GOOD thing! There is plenty of material in each blank to create your guitar nut. From my experience, these are very high quality REAL bone nuts, and the fact that you get 6 of them for a very reasonable price makes using them a no-brainer. Other than the time you use and the stress of doing a proper job of it, the cost of these 6 blanks together, is WAY CHEAPER than buying 1 ready-made one of bone or something similar.

These are great, they are made of real bone. These are blank bone nuts, if you are a DIY(Do it Yourself) kinda person like me these are for you. You’ll need sandpaper and some files to bring them in shape that will fit your nut slot, you can use your already available nut on your guitar as reference and for markings. And regarding making nut slots you can use “feeler gauge” you can search regarding that on YouTube, also alternatively you can also use your guitar strings itself to make slots with their respective string gauges. Note that I am a beginner guitarist, been playing acoustic guitar for 6 months and this is my first DIY in regards to working with guitar, the nut on my guitar(Yamaha 310) is made of plastic. I read that bone material can improve overall tone of guitar, therefore I purchased these bone nuts. I totally recommend them.

I was worried because other reviews showed broken pieces.I had no problems. Each piece was smooth and precisely cut. I am new to shaping my own bridge and nut but I was able to get it done with a Dremel and sandpaper.Because I had to take off a lot of material, (it's a ukelele and I like the action low) the sandpaper provided would not have been enough. I didn't expect it to be, just a heads up for you if you're new to this like me.I'm sure a luthier would have done a better job, but I managed to get some improvement in intonation out of my ukelele for a small price, so I am happy with this purchase and would buy again.

These blanks are some of the best I've seen over my years of making saddles and nuts. They measure as described and are in beautiful condition. They're even in every aspect and the price is just incredible. If you do this alot ya know sometimes ya get stuff that isn't quite up to snuff. Not these !!!Will update when work starts.I don't know if being of Buffalo bone made the difference. BUT !!!! OMG these were so easy to work with. By the time I was on my 3rd fitting I wasn't even using a jig ( I do not suggest this for novice users ). The material takes to filing incredibly and they polish like gems. I can't say enough about these parts and the Brand "Music One" . I will buy more from this outlet and """HIGHLY RECOMMEND""" !!!!Thanks Music One for being a righteous manufacturer for those of us who do this for a living. 👍✌

Two of the blanks I received were evenly white. The others looked blotchy, as if maybe they were not thoroughly degreased or bleached. Dimensions are consistent and surfaces are flat and smooth. They measure about 0.122" thick, which is thick enough to sand down for a perfect fit in a 3/32" saddle slot. They would not work in a 1/8" slot. OK value for such a low price.

Just some background. I have a Cedar Top Takamine and I wanted to lower the action at the higher frets because I like to play acoustic solos up there and the action was a tad high for my tastes. I bought the bridge blanks and they are of very high quality. But remember, these are raw blanks. You have to work them to fit your application. I took off the original from my guitar, but I did make a small pencil mark on it to indicate which side was at the Low E so I wouldn't get it backwards later. I then traced out the outline on the blank with the pencil. I had to cut it down lengthwise because it is too long. I then used a bench grinder to carefully get it close to the pencil mark. I then used 150 grit sandpaper to get it to exactly the shape and contour of the original. I then took off an additional 1mm from the bottom so the strings would be lower. That wasn't the end of it. The thickness of the blanks were 2.9mm according to my calipers. The original Takamine was 2.65mm. This actually was the most cumbersome part. I had to lay it flat and sand each side carefully, until it was down to 2.65mm. Its cumbersome because its hard to grip it and sand because it is so thin. Anyhow, after this, I installed it and it worked great! I love the fact that I did it myself and it came out so wonderfully. A fresh set of Stainless Monel strings and the Tak sounds like a blues dream!So if you have the gumption, go ahead! Just be aware that it will take some diligence and don't rush it. The results are great. Highly recommended!
