Upgrade nut on PRS SE Custom 24

[AxlGianne]

Hi everyone!
I have a PRS SE Custom 24 2016 model, and I have tuning problems especially when I use trem, I read that's the problem of cheap plastic nut and tuners so I decided to upgrade in first tuners with Schaller M6 locking tuners and they are great, really. ❤
Problems however remain because i use 10-52 strings scale and stock nut is made for 9-42, so I read that there is a fantastic nut, PT 6643 00 - BLACK TUSQ XL NUT by Graphtech and I would like to buy one but I have a question: it's perfect for my strings scale (10-52) or my tech have to adapt new nut to my strings scale?

Help me please! Thank you

P.S. sorry for my english but I'm italian

According to the reviews you should be able to use 10s without having to modify the slots on the Black TUSQ XL Nut. Have a look here:

I use 10-52s as well. Because it's a hybrid set, the EBG strings will be fine, but you'll need to have a tech file the slots for the DAE strings to fit without risking binding. Just a note, I've owned several PRS SEs and never had a problem with the actual material of the SE nuts. If it was me, I would just take it to a tech and have him file the existing nut to accomodate a 10-52 set.

I prefer replace stock nut thank you

I prefer replace stock nut thank you

At any rate, the TUSQ nut is made for a standard 10-46 set. If you want to use 10-52, it will require filing to accommodate the larger strings

I'd replace the stock one with a Core nut.

Too much expensive for me in this moment
