Upgrading a Sterling Sub AX3 and a Silo 3

[Edgarallan]

Hi guys! I bought both of these wonderful guitars as a platform for upgrading and one of the parts I want to upgrade is the nut. I want to put either a Graphtech TUSQ or a graphite. Which one do I need for each?

Seriously guys 68 views and nobody chips in to help a guy out?

I'm not sure I understand. You want to put either a Tusq or graphite nut in there? First off- why? Second, if you replace the nut, the material would really be a matter of personal preference.

Personally I wouldn't touch the nut unless I had playability or tuning stability issues. These guitars are pretty good in stock form.

I just got a Sub AX3 and I put some graphite in string slots and changed the strings to 10s and it made a significant difference in tone and tuning stability.
