Don't Make a New Nut—Fix It!
Nut slots wear down over time, leading to fret buzz, tuning problems, and a guitar that just doesn't play right. But replacing the entire nut isn't always the best option—especially on vintage guitars where the original nut adds value. That's where Nut Rescue Powder comes in.
Developed by the hardworking techs at Joe Glaser's Music City Bridge, this ultra-fine, self-lubricating powder is the ultimate shortcut for fixing low nut slots without replacing the nut. Just fill, glue, and recut—your string height is back where it should be, and you're ready to play.

How to Use Nut Rescue Powder
Protect your finish with Low-Tack Tape
Clean out the low slot with a nut slotting file
