Please excuse me for highjacking this thread, but back to TUSQ/nubone, the nuts are pre-slotted. And Graphtech doesn't list a Nubone ukulele nut. Are the preslotted Tusq Nuts made to fit most production line ukes: Kala, Lanikai, Ohana, etc..?
...
I used a TUSQ nut and saddle on my concert Oscar Schmidt. Yes, it fit perfectly with just a little sanding on the sides to fit the width of my neck. They are made a little long, tall and wide to help fit most uke necks.
I use only TUSQ on all my acoustics as well. They are really easy to shape/sand to perfect intonation. I usually mount then mark with a pencil for where I want to move the "saddles" via sanding, then lastly I sand down the bottom to get the action I like.
The little OS mahogany concert already sounded alright with bone and plastic but now it really resonates and sounds right after the TUSQ and intonation/action work!! I recommend them!
When I get my Tenor, i'll be using a TUSQ blank and custom compensating it as well as installing a pickup under the saddle.
I learned how to do all this from books at the library, btw!!
