Slide Guitar Extension Nut

I played standard guitar for 60 years, yep six “O” and like most active players have acquired what some might consider a “collection”. Long story short, I have recently switched to lap steel playing. Discovered this slide guitar extension nut and fitted it to one of my Fender American Deluxe Telecasters and couldn’t be happier with the results. That being said, for those considering doing the same thing, please be aware that you need to be careful what tuning you use and select string gauges appropriate to the tuning. You can run the neck of a standard guitar if you don’t give this some thought. There are a zillion tunings for slide (lapsteel) guitar, actually I think around 4 thousand different ones. I tuned My Telle to A6th and it’s OK. I think that C6th is too stressful on the slim Telle Neck Not trying to tell anyone what to do, but here is my setup and it’s OK. Tuned to A6th. String Note Gauge Octave (Smallest to heaviest) 1. C# 0.014 Plain 4th 2. A 0.022 Plain 3rd 3. F# 0.024 Wound 3rd 4. E 0.028 Wound 3rd 5. C# 0.036 Wound 3rd 6. A 0.042 Wound 2nd

I had been playing slide for about two weeks, when I noticed 'dents' on the outer edge of some of the frets, beneath the high E string. So I decided to do something about it.
After just a little research on slide guitar, I stumbled upon your website and the Slide Guitar Extension Nut.
I just wish I had discovered it sooner; It blew me away!
I play (mostly) in open G, but also experiment with other open tunings!
Today, I learnt 'Rollin' and Tumblin', by Muddy Waters!
Thankyou guys, even though I'm in my 44th year of guitar playing, the sparks are still flying!
I bought 3 of these; one is fitted to my beloved Epiphone Sheridan! I play along to jam tracks on You-Tube. Fantastic!

the Slide Guitar Extension Nut is the cheapest way to enjoy again an untunable acoustic guitar, and discover a whole new guitar technique.

I used it in my Snake hollow-body eletric guitar and it fit nicely. If you want a nice and easy extension nut, this is the one. Product is top quality. I got suprised by the email translated to portuguese from StewMAC. Thumbs up!

too easy

After talking to several experts, I thought I was going to have to make a nut to raise the stings on my guitar. Luckily, I ran across a website that directed me to StewMac's nifty nickel-plated nut booster. It works great on my cheapo Fender acoustic. I'm going to order another for an old Silvertone electric I have laying around.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because when I started stringing up the guitar it moved around a bit until I got enough tension to hold it into place, after that, it stayed in place just fine. Great product for someone just starting their adventures in steel guitar! It also saved me a lot of money!

I purchased an extension nut for my friend. I personally play simple electric, acoustic and classical guitars. I was especially impressed with easiness of payment by PayPal and speed of delivery. Regardless of Christmas time it came through to me within 2 weeks from the date of dispatch all the way to deep continental Russia. Communication with the store was very clear and easy too. Also the cost of items offered here is friendly, exciting me about the opportunities to shop more here. And I will soon be back for more items.
Many thanks and kind regards.

I bought several of these. 1 for my friend who is awesome on slide and wanted to raise the strings on a Regal Resonator. I put 1 on a an electric Gretsch Pro Jet, and slid one on a Fender Tele-Coustic. These are fun.
