"A simple nut repair solution that will blend right in and leave you with a stable and lubricated nut slot." - Joe Glaser (Owner, Glaser Instruments)
Nut Rescue is a unique blend of materials made to perfectly fill and lubricate a slot and look great. Developed for over 25 years in a pro repair shop, this excellent resource is now a product (per frequent request).
Originality and efficiency are important to us all and sometimes it makes good sense to fill and recut an instrument nut - rather than replacing it. For this, Nut Rescue can be used and handled in the same way you use baking soda and/or bone dust to fill nuts but with the added benefit of great color match, durability, sound, and lubrication.
Nut Rescue comes in a set of three shades to match most nuts:
- Black (Graphite, Ebony, Buffalo)
- Cream (Aged or Natural Bone, Ivory, Tusq)
- Bright (Modern Bleached Bone and Corian)
Why it matters:
When a guitar string is bent, string is borrowed from behind the nut and friction is a problem. Nut Rescue's low friction is critical for tuning and its long wearability allows many original nuts to be saved and give years of use. This spares a neck the wear and tear of replacement, saves time, and is a valuable repair.
All three colors take CA glue nicely and without discoloration.Instructions:
1) Clean the slot with a file
2) Score the slot with a razor
3) Use the included applicator to fill the slot with Nut Rescue (tamp it down gently)
4) Touch the slot with a bead of thin superglue (let the glue cure)
5) File to preferred height

I’m new to making and working on nuts so I make a lot of mistakes. This stuff works great. Now I’m not as fearful to ruin something and then have to pay someone to fix my mistakes. I just fill it in and start over. Recently I have purchased many different products from MCB recently and they are all amazing products. It’s nice having people with so much experience making products that work and are not just a gimmick.
Works like it is described in the description. Worked perfectly when used properly.
I’m always afraid to cut nut slots too deep because I don’t repair them with bone dust or baking soda, I make a new nut. I’ve used the nut rescue instead of making a new nut and it seems fine so far. Time will tell. The cream color is a good match for the bone stock I have. Love that tiny spoon too.
Well pleased thank you
Perfect
Well this stuff only worked perfectly. Thank you!
I (regretfully) filed the G slot down a touch too low on a mostly original 1980 Les Paul Custom: cue the frustration and open-string buzzing. What a bummer.
I’ve used the baking soda/bone dust and CA glue trick on other nuts but this one is the original (Corian, I think) nut so I wanted to invest in something specialized to do this. I really didn’t want to have to replace or shim it.
Well! The Nut Rescue Kit arrived today and I just finished filling and re-slotting the G string - PERFECTION!
The Nut Rescue Kit worked extremely well. It hardened rock solid and looked very close in color. Super happy!
Thank you!
Your service and products fantastic. Love doing business with your company.
The solution to fix the nut.
I’ve been honing my skills for years with various aspects of guitar repair. Working on nuts has been the last thing I’ve wanted to mess with. This product has allowed me to make mistakes and learn from them without the fear of immediately needing to get a guitar repaired and a nut replaced. I just fixed a large mistake and used it in all six slots of a guitar. It was so easy to work with and now everything plays perfectly.
