Last week I bought a “used” 2021 Tremonti SE from Dave’s Guitar. I bought various bits and bobs to upgrade, including a Graphtech TUsqXL nut. After popping off the stock nut - and it was the stocker, because I had to score the finish along the edge of the nut - it did not appear to be the hollowed-out plastic nuts that I’ve read about coming as stock on the SE. While the markings weren’t exactly like the Graphtech, the material seemed the same texture, weight and - when dropped - sounded exactly the same. I have to add that the trem tuning stability with the stock nut was fine, I was only swapping for a potential tone improvement had it been the cheap plastic nut. So does anyone know if this is a recent production change and whether, as it appears, this is a graphite/self lubricating nut now coming as standard?
