Your source for quality bone

Vintage Bone Nuts

Bone is traditionally preferred for making nuts and saddles on quality instruments, and our "vintage style" bone is an unbleached, super-hard version with a mottled cream color that often resembles fossilized ivory. Its hardness and density contributes to good tone, it polishes well, and it allows more precise slot filing.

Blank nuts have oversize length and height, for custom shaping in your shop. They're ready for trimming, filing, sanding and slotting.

Preshaped nuts will save you a LOT of work — a headstart for the novice builder, and a bonus for the busy repair shop where time is money! The dimensions have been carefully researched, and minor trimming, slotting, and sanding are all that's needed to fit most popular guitars.
