Which "Graph Tech TUSQ nut" for my PRS SE Paul's Guitar?

Widefat is sold out at the PRS Accessary Store.
They only have Regular.
Check with all the dealers in the Dealers Section

Yes, that I saw. I found the one sold by John Mann in his website. About to pull the trigger, but I also saw the two sold in Amazon for about $17 claiming to be PRS original. Payment wise I rather buy from Amazon, but I still have reserves if they are PRS Core / Original material, if I make sense....
 
I will also try to hand ream a drill bit in the trem block since the string balls are seizing in the holes. Also will try to polish the saddles with a piece of strong thread and polishing compound to see if that also helps.

I'd rather buy from a known and trusted dealer and not worry about getting the real thing.:)
 
Took the old strings off, took the bridge off, cleaned it, polished the ramps on the saddles, greased the steel trem block, installed some GHS 09-42 strings and now it it worse. when I whang down and return to pitch, the 6th, 5th, 4th and 3rd are up in pitch almost a half step. The Mann nut was supposed to get here today but USPS Ybor City Distro Center is on the edge of the event horizon of a black hole. Everything thru there moves so slowly...... Let's see tomorrow.
 
installed a bone nut on Se std 24, keep graphite on it, works great, bone is hard and gives a nice bright sound in my opinion. I dont even glue them down, I can just give them a tug if needed. never out of tune. L6
 
As I mentioned in another post...
The guitar is playing me around. I removed the 6th strings like 3 times inserting up to 3 ball ends and taking them off, 3rd time the charm. I just put the bloody string by itself and now the guitar holds the tuning. Bollocks !!!
 
I got to a point where it is 90% better. I installed the Knife edge screws. They are a tad smaller than the originals, but they work fine. Set them screws @ 2.5mm like John Mann suggested in the video and instead ow wrapping the strings around the tuning machines, pulled them thru tighten them and tuned. The strings are about 1/4 turn on the machines. Better holding now.
When my economy allows me, I'm getting a Mann Made bridge for sure.
