Reddit reviews PT-6643-00 : Black TUSQ nut 6 Stg Electric Nut 43 x 6

Good question! Particularly on the SE models for some reason mainly the G string tends to get stuck,out of tune. The nut isn't setup properly on a good amount of these. I just did another one last month. I can either file it down or I replace them with a graptech/tusq nut.

Other than that issue with a nice setup these guitars a awesome one to have in the arsenal. They are versatile, comfortable and able to be played for extended periods of time.

The only issue you'll encounter is that the stock nut is slotted for 9s and the bridge is set up for 9's. Switching to a 10's is a good excuse to replace the nut with one of these graphtech's. It fixed the issuse I was getting with the g string getting stuck in the nut and improved the tuning stability of my SE.

The acoustic can last quite awhile compared to my electrics, which usually need a string change every month because of breakage.

As an experiment I put a TUSQ nut on one of my electrics and started rubbing graphite in the saddles to see if that would improve string life. The TUSQ was delivered May 5th. So far it's been two months.

Hey congrats on picking that up, one thing to keep in mind with these SE models (my knowledge doesn't extend back to 2001) is they all seem to benefit from a new nut. If that hasn't been upgraded, it's an easy replacement and the perfect time to do it is when restringing and refinishing the neck. These Graph Tech black TUSQ's are what seem to fit other SE models. I've even got an extensive review on that page (it's the one with the red Tremonti headstock photos). I do still recommend proper slotting even for this model after installation for perfect intonation when fretting near the nut, but this model will take 9s and 10s well w/o binding out of the box.
