Designed for steel-string acoustics and resonator guitars, it supports a wide range of string gauges and maintains near-original intonation, making it a cost-effective solution for players who want to experiment with slide playing without investing in a second instrument. ## Description This handy device can instantly convert any steel-string acoustic guitar for Hawaiian playing. Simply place this metal string-raiser over the existing nut and tune up the strings. You've saved the expense of buying another guitar for slide playing, and you need only remove this part to convert your guitar back to Spanish playing again. Review: Works Exceptionally Well - The Golden Gate F-3303 is intended for extending the nut on resonator guitars that are ordinarily set up for fretting. In other words, this is a device that allows the player of a round neck resonator to set up the instrument for square neck-style lap playing. With this extension nut, the player can change back and forth from having the instrument set up for fretting (or a combination of fretting and slide playing) or alternately for steel bar playing. The buyer needs to realize that although the extender simply fits non-obtrusively over the top of the guitar's regular nut, you must slacken the strings in order to make the switch. In other words, it's not something that you're going to be able to do in between songs at a gig. However, the Golden Gate is very sturdy, seems to fit a wide variety of string gauges, and changes the guitar's intonation set up very little. Do note, though, that because changing the angle of the strings from bridge to nut also changes the length of the scale ever so slightly, tuning the open strings perfectly in tune means that the frets will not mark 100% precisely where the touched notes need to be played. Since so much of slide playing relies on the ear and not on precise visual placement of the bar directly over the frets, it is not a problem. This device is ideal for the players who plan to do, say, some Delta blues with a combination of fretting and use of an over-the-finger slide (normal, short nut setup), and then maybe work on Bluegrass lap-style resonator playing in the future. It's not for someone who is going to change set up hour by hour or day by day. The only way you could probably do that would be to own two instruments. If you don't need to make quick, frequent setup changes and don't want to own two resonator guitars, the Golden Gate F-3303 does the trick! At less than $10 compared with the price of a second resonator guitar, it's a no brainer. Review: Experimental is what I was looking for... - Got this to test out on my electric guitar... It's a bit wide... Spreads the strings out to the edge of the neck... Once installed you can no longer fret the strings with your fingers... Makes it fun to play your guitar in your lap with a slide... It's not too weird to play with a slide holding the guitar as you normally would... For the price it's something to mess around with and experiment... That's what I was looking for as I don't want to change the setup of my guitar... I wouldn't rely on it as an intrigal piece of my guitar as far as gigging goes... Fun to mess around with and see where ya wanna go... I could snag something from the hardware store and make something similar or just practice with this until I'm more confident playing with low action... For $7 it's worth messing with and making cool sounds if you're interested in playing slide guitar... ## Features - Conveniently change back and forth from having the instrument set up for fretting or for steel bar playing - Fits simply and non-obtrusively over the top of the guitar's regular nut - Sturdy brass construction accommodates a wide variety of string gauges - To learn more, please see our Product Description below ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002Z3N8O | | Best Sellers Rank | #12,421 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #21 in Acoustic & Classical Guitar Nuts | | Body Material | Brass | | Brand | Golden Gate | | Brand Name | Golden Gate | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 261 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00688382002821 | | Item Dimensions | 0.5 x 0.5 x 2 inches | | Item Type Name | Accordion Accessory | | Item Weight | 5.67 g | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 0.5 x 0.5 x 2 inches | | Manufacturer | Saga Musical Instruments | | Material | Brass | | Model Name | F3303 | | Model Number | F-3303 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | GR1019 | | UPC | 962327065059 688382002821 | | Warranty Description | Limited 1 year on manufactured defects. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Golden Gate - **Color:** Silver - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 0.5 x 0.5 x 2 inches - **Material:** Brass - **Model Name:** F3303 ## Images ![F-3303 Slide Guitar Conversion – Extension Nut - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wRuAQN79L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Exceptionally Well *by J***H on February 4, 2010* The Golden Gate F-3303 is intended for extending the nut on resonator guitars that are ordinarily set up for fretting.

It is way too big, I’m not sure what guitar this fits? It is too so wide for an Epi Les Paul, SG or a Strat? High and low E strings hang over the sides of the fretboard. Wasn’t worth sending back so I filed it down and filed in seats for the correct string pattern on an SG? Hmm. Not sure I’d put that much work into it again, but it sounds good and works with the mods… ## Frequently Bought Together - Golden Gate F-3303 Slide Guitar Conversion – Extension Nut - Alnicov Stainless Steel Guitar Slide Tone Bar for Dobro, Lap Steel Guitar, Hawaiian Guitar, Electric Guitar Accessories - Chrome - Allparts Extension Nut --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/6995777-f-3303-slide-guitar-conversion-extension-nut](https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/6995777-f-3303-slide-guitar-conversion-extension-nut) --- *Product available on Desertcart Brazil* *Store origin: BR* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
