Slide Guitar Extension Nut

What can I add to Jake's concise review?
1. simple to use
2. doesn't damage the guitar
3. direct improvement on tone
4. makes slide playing so much easier"

I'm the guitarist of Dance On Fire, a The Doors tribute band from Mexico City. As you may know, Robby Krieger was one of the first guitarists to use slide on an electric guitar, songs such as Moonlight Drive, Wild Child, End Of The Night, etc. This little piece of metal did a great job, however it could do little damage to your fretboard's finish. Maybe it needs a little piece of rubber in the edges that make contact with wood, in order to prevent scratches.

This bit of kit is now essential in my gig bag. Only down side I can see is that to put the guitar back into standard non slide mode after a song could be tough. cheers stew mac for a great piece of kit

No doubt, it is the best in the market. Very cool. It has one huge advantage over the other NUT in the market. The angled design does not put any pressure on the fretboard and sits nice on top of the existing nut.

You need to compromise on one thing. On few open tunings where you have to go a whole step down on lower strings, the nut moves because of not enough tension to keep it in place. But for Open G,E or Dobro or C6 types, it works like a charm.

Easy to install, dirt simple and it works like a dream!

Cheap way to "expand" your guitar arsenal with breaking bank. Easy to do and easy to undo.

Beautiful in its simplicity. Works like a charm and is easy to install and to take off. Well done!

I got this because I wanted to see just how hard lap steel guitar would be to play. I bought 3 of them. I tried one on an acoustic, one on a tele and one on a strat. The extension nut worked as promised and I discovered that lap steel is not terribly difficult to play and I then decided to invest in a real lap steel guitar. My biggest problem was deciding whether to learn lap steel right-handed or left-handed as I am left handed. I decided to learn right-handed so I could play any lap steel and not spend my life looking for southpaw lap steels. After a month of practice it feels natural. Anyhow I would not recommend this product as a permanent lap steel setup because lap steels require heavy guage strings to get a good sound and putting heavy guage strings together with alternate tunings on a skinny strat or tele neck would likely do harm in the long run.

But as a cheap way to test the lap steel waters you cannot go wrong.

Great product. Wish a 8-string Extension nut was made.

I have a resonator guitar that just won't intonate properly. Once I realized that, I was going to give up on it. But for $3.77 CAN I turned it into a slide guitar! This little unit is BRILLIANT!
