This nut will drop right in on a VINTAGE radius Fender neck....please note VINTAGE radius neck which is 7.25". If you have a 12" or 9.5" radius neck Fender makes another drop in nut. You could use this one...but it will require more sanding. Even then it's not much.To install...1) Go slow. I repeat GO SLOW. It's not going to take long....about 60-90 minutes from beginning to end.2) you need sandpaper. 300-400 grit works fine. Any courser and you'll take too much off too fast.3) Lay nut on it's side. Rub nut left and right...left and right across sandpaper. Stop and insert into nutslot on neck. When it goes into the slot with SLIGHT pressure....STOP you're done.4) Look at first picture. Cut strip of sandpaper that fits in between top frets.5) Rub nut left and right...only left and right across sandpaper laid across fretboard. It will maintain perfect radius on nut bottom and ensure best fit and the base of the nut will have consistent contact with neck all the way across the neck.6) repeat until it's at a height you're happy with.7) Look at second picture. Round off nut ends at bottom. This just makes it more comfortable on your hand.8) Use Elmer's glue or a SMALL amount of wood glue...by small I mean a couple of drops. DO NOT fill nut slot with glue...it's messy and unneeded. A couple of drops and string pressure will keep it in place.9) DO NOT USE SUPER GLUE....you'll never get it out without a lot of work or possibly damaging the neck.10) DO NOT USE SUPER GLUE....you'll never get it out without a lot of work or possibly damaging the neck.11) install strings and let dry for a couple of hours.12) using nut files, enlarge slots until you're happy with height string is sitting on in nut. You only need those inexpensive nut files that come in about a dozen different gauges in one single flip-out type metal box...like a Swiss Army knife type arrangement. You do not need the super expensive nut files from Stew-Mac etc, those are for blanks. This nut pre-slotted. File each string slot at the gauge each string will be. File down and slightly angled towards the tuner. The angle isn't sharp....but the low E angle will be slightly more pronounced than the high E. Feeler gauges are a plus..but you can get by without them.That's it.Honestly it is easy...if you doubt your ability...buy 2 nuts. It's still cheaper than paying a pro.There are SEVERAL YouTube video out there that can help.Remember...go slow and NO SUPER GLUE.

I could not get a pre-carved nut from any of the music stores in my area. I found one on Amazon. I couldn’t believe it. It arrived 2-3 days later. It was perfect. I was able to install it very easily and my Stratocaster was up and running rapidly!

Reviewed in Spain on October 2, 2023
La cejuela es de hueso auténtico, 43 x 3.5mm. La base es curva como la mayoría de los asientos en los mástiles Fender, y viene con un radio de 9.5 pulgadas. Viene ya ranurada. Tras lijarla para adaptarla al radio de mi mástil (12") entró en su asiento a la perfección y funciona genial.
Lo importante: No es una cejuela para mástiles vintage (radio 7.25" y 41.88mm de largo), es para mástiles "modernos" de Tele y Strato. Excelente.
