I tried putting on a Graphtech Black Tusq XL nut on my Paul Reed Smith SE SVN. The nut is compatible with Schecter 7 string guitars. I sanded it's buttom a bit just to let it fit the corner of fretboard end without filing nut slots.

Once I string the guitar with a 9 set, I found that the nut is not heigh enough and causes open 4th - 6th strings to heavily buzz. But fretting sound normal and clear on all registers through the board.

I tried raising the 4 - 6th saddles but that didn't help much. So this nut is simply not useable on my guitar. I'm looking at another Tusq nur 7 nut with Carvin compatibility which is heigher that Schecter variant. But still not sure it would fit.

So, any SE SVN owners replaced the nut? Which one did you use?
