The stinger is classy. I really like this model!Between the first edition of Mark Holcomb SE and the current 2017 series are two obvious differences.
The logo on the one hand side and the extent of the satin neck on the other hand side.

Hey Mate Nice mod on Mark SE good job, I was planning to order 1 but I hated the original nut, because it was cheap and definitely low quality, But now I see your upgraded version and I want that too so can you tell me where I can order the same nut, which model is it?Sure! A friend of mine is a guitar tech, who adjusted the PRS core nut to the guitar, especially because of the lower axis of those Schaller tuners compared to the origin PRS SE tuners. Rasping was necessary by that fact indeed.
I think @Maertl513 used the "Core" nut, modified.Hey Mate Nice mod on Mark SE good job, I was planning to order 1 but I hated the original nut, because it was cheap and definitely low quality, But now I see your upgraded version and I want that too so can you tell me where I can order the same nut, which model is it?

Removing wood to accommodate a new nut can weaken the neck structure and is totally unnecessary. Simplest method is to remove material from the bottom of the new nut by rubbing it flat over some sandpaper on a hard surface until you reach the desired height. If you mean that you had to clean the old glue from this area with sandpaper then this is fine and of course it needs to be done sometimes.
Not wishing to sound alarmist, you know.
hahah don't worry! At first photo can see the excess of "fingerboard wood" and glue! It was necessary medicineCool. You had me worried for a second
Thanks mate, I ordered guitar + original nut, should go to luthier as soon as I get them ^_^I bought the PRS ACC-4204 nut, my pal and guitar tech adjusted it to the radius and action of my Holcomb.
