SCUD NTC-10 Carbon Guitar Nut — 40 × 8.0 × 3.8 mm

Best for

A six-string guitar repair or build where direct measurements and bottom-profile inspection show that the 40 × 8.0 × 3.8 mm NTC-10 is suitable for final fitting.

Who should skip

Skip it when the target dimensions, bottom profile, string spacing or required slot depths have not been measured, or when a guaranteed model-specific drop-in replacement is required.

Watchouts

NTC-10 differs from NTC-1 through NTC-14 siblings. Exact string spacing, slot depth and bottom profile are unpublished. HOSCO warns that SCUD parts may require instrument modification and expert installation. Do not force the nut into a slot or assume the visible pre-slots are at finished depth.

Likely add-ons

• target six-string guitar with directly measured nut slot
• precision calipers and layout gauges
• appropriate nut files and controlled shaping/sanding tools
• adhesive only if specified by the instrument repair method
• qualified guitar technician when fit or setup is uncertain

Verify before buying

• Does the target nut slot suit 40 × 8.0 × 3.8 mm with fitting allowance?
• Is the destination underside flat, radiused or otherwise shaped?
• Does the target E-to-E string spacing match the pre-slot layout?
• Who will cut final slot depths and complete the setup?
• Is NTC-10—not a differently sized NTC sibling—the required item?
