Get close with NUT - NUT types

What is nut? Maybe nut is not popular like the other guitar part but nut is a crucial component in tone shaping and playability. This material lays near the headstock for string foundation and have a gap to directing each string to tuning machine.
There are four types of nut i.e Standard Nut, Locking Nut, Roller Nut, and Compensated Nut.

Standard Nut
We can find this nut type in almost electric and acoustic guitar. A small strip made from various materials, slotted, and polished. Generally this nut type is glued to neck and fretboard. A Fender nut usually has 3 mm thickness and set to fretboard and Les Paul model or acoustic usually use 4 mm thick nut.

Locking Nut
This nut usually associated with Floyd Rose tremolo bridge. This nut type have a mechanism to lock the string stay tune after an extreme tremolo action or extreme bending
Roller Nut
To avoid the string out of tune after extreme tremolo or bending action without locking nut, Trev Wilkinson design this roller nut. This ingenious nut uses ball bearings to locate the strings and ease their movement across the nut. When used in conjunction with locking tuning machines and moderate tremolo action, tuning issues are significantly reduced when compared to more conventional set-ups

Compensated Nut
Compensated nut designed to maintain each tone in every fret in each string get close with the proper tone. This nut is especially nice for finger picking where a lot of open string chords and open strings in general are used.You will simply love the fact that you can play chords up the neck that include open strings. The accuracy of this nut is amazing!
