Nut

Embrace exceptional playability and authentic sound with our expertly crafted nut—the indispensable component that ensures each string on your ExoGuitar resonates flawlessly.

Why You'll Love It:

• Consistent String Spacing: Ensures a uniform distance between strings for improved playability and tuning precision.
• Vibration Transfer: Designed to channel vibrations into printable or hybrid materials, providing an authentic sound experience reminiscent of bone/synthetic nuts on bolt-on electric guitars.

Real-world Inspiration (if applicable):

Functionally analogous to bone / synthetic nuts on bolt-on electrics—even when printed—setup still follows action, relief, and nut slot depth textbook rules.

Design & Print Notes (if applicable):

This basic nut for the ExoGuitar system is compatible with Neck v3 and features a thicker design compared to Neck v2 nuts due to the thicker neck profile.

How to Install / Use:

1. Install Heat Set Inserts: Follow this visual guide to insert the heat set inserts.

2. Install Adjustment Screws: Follow this visual guide to insert the adjustment screws.

3. Install Nut: Place the nut between the strings and the screws when stringing your guitar.

4. Tune: Tighten the grub screws from the back of the neck using a 1.5mm allen key until the strings are the correct distance from the frets, ensuring minimal buzz on the frets when plucked. Adjust in tandem with the bridge to achieve the lowest action possible.
