SE electric guitars now come equipped with graphite nuts?

[FunkyFreeman]

Just came across SE Mira page on Sweetwater and noticed it says 'Graphite composite' nut material. The nut in the picture looks very similar to graphite IMHO. I know SE electric guitars have been employed hard plastic nuts through 19 years of production line. But graphite? Never heard about this before.

The official SE Mira page doesn't mention about nut material. Does anyone know if this graphite upgrade is true or not? If so, which models eligible for graphite?

That's the least they could do considering the price increases lately...

That would appear to be the Core nut?

I believe it's a special new material called Deez.

I don’t like core nuts. I prefer pretzels.

I replaced the nut on my SE CU24 25th with a TusqXL several years ago, and even on that guitar, the nut seemed to be more than just plastic. I did Paul’s “drop test” and it had a clank akin to the core nut. I don’t know anything for certain, but would be interested to know if it’s actually something new, or just a marketing thing.
