Taller than most other nuts.—
Most flat bottom nuts being sold are only 4.5 to 5.3mm in height. This nut is spec’d at approx. 6mm height. Less chance of having to shim the nut to get prober string height over the first fret. It can be easier to remove some off the bottom that to shim. See below.

_____________________________________________________
Please note that pre-shaped nuts are not a drop in replacement. In most cases some sanding will be necessary to fit the width of your guitar slot properly. If you need to lower the overall height, just lay out a piece of sandpaper and rung the bottom of the nut back and forth to remove some of the height. Depending on your finger board radius, minor slot filing may be required as well.
Do I need a flat bottom or curved bottom nut?
Most Fender Squier, and other Strat and Tele style guitars made oversees (China, Indonesia, etc.) use flat bottom nuts.
In most cases, Fender guitars made in the US and Mexico use curved bottom nuts ranging from 7.25″ to 12″ radius, with 9.5″ radius being very popular.
This nut cannot be used as a replacement for a curved bottom nut.
Do I need 42mm or 43mm?
That could depend on your guitar or your preference. Guitar spec’s usually include nut length (See Fender website for example). Sometimes spec’s can differ slightly from what is actually on the guitar. The difference between 42mm and 43mm is very slight (42mm is approximately 1.65″ or 1 5/8″—43mm is approximately 1.69″ or 1 11/16″) Many Fender, Squier, and other Fender style guitars spec 42mm nut. Some use 43mm or (42.8). Some Afinity’s spec 40.6mm. For best results, it is advisable to measure your present nut or go with what is spec’d  for your guitar. Some prefer a 43mm where 42mm would generally be used, because 43mm sometimes gives slightly wider string spacing, and/or the opportunity to sand the ends of the nut to precise width of the neck…or not.
