Just unboxed

Original packaging

The PT-5042-00 is a great option to upgrade the nut on your Fender style electric guitar. It has a flat bottom but is only 3/16" tall. It is pre-slotted for a quick and simple install. Black TUSQ XL is engineered from the same material as TUSQ and is impregnated with PTFE which is five times more slippery than graphite. It has all the tonal benefits of TUSQ, bringing out the hidden harmonics of your guitar all while drastically improving tuning performance. Black TUSQ XL is consistent from piece to piece, and within each piece, to offer you harmonically rich tones without the problems associated with natural materials.Dimensions: 41,98 x 3,22 x 4,98 mm. E to e: 35,25 mm.

Strengths

Improved tuning stability: Customers report that the nut greatly helps guitars stay in tune, even after heavy use of tremolo bars or string bending.
Enhanced sound quality: Many users note a noticeable improvement in the guitar's sound, including better sustain and overall resonance, after installing this nut.
High-quality material: The nut is made from a durable and high-quality material that is easy to work with for adjustments like sanding and polishing.
Compatibility with upgrades: The nut works exceptionally well when combined with other guitar upgrades like string trees and string saver saddles, further enhancing performance.

Weaknesses

Requires modification: Several customers found that the nut often requires sanding the bottom or filing the string slots to achieve the correct height and depth for optimal playability.
Inaccurate dimensions: Some users experienced issues with the string slots being too deep or wide, leading to strings lying on the first fret, indicating that the listed dimensions can be misleading.

What customers repeat

“Better sound and sustain.” “The guitar stays in tune even after 'dive-bomb' tremolo use.” “You have to sand the bottom and file the slots to the correct depth, but it's worth it.” “Excellent nut! It significantly improves the guitar's sound and helps prevent detuning.” “Perfect. It worked wonders.” “High-quality material.”

Verdict

This guitar nut is highly praised by customers for significantly improving guitar sound, sustain, and tuning stability, especially when used with tremolo systems. It is generally considered a worthwhile upgrade for various guitar models, particularly those with plastic nuts.

The fret is low for me. The stated dimensions of 41.98 x 3.22 x 4.98 mm are quite misleading, because the height of 4.98 is in the middle - It would be appropriate to include on the product page also the picture that is on the back of the package. There the exact dimensions of the individual parts of the fret are given.

All dimensions are practically ideal for Strat/Tele except for the depth of the grooves🤷‍♂️. I have no idea if the groove for the zero fret is deeper on the Squier Telecaster, in short, the grooves in this fret are too deep and the strings on the first fret except E, A were lying. So unusable without support. The width of the grooves was also too large, 10 strings could move sideways in the groove - this would probably settle down over time, but in short, I will have to buy a semi-finished product without grooves. This fret is apparently not intended for finishing the correct depth but only for layman's replacement piece by piece. For this case, the package should have had some reserve for the height of the strings.
