Pointy star bastard.
All I did was use some fretboard oil on it. It’s not black, that was never my intention to dye it. I like the streaks. But there’s threads on here you can search for if you want to dye yours black.

I have a pet peeve about the term plastic.
Plastic is a very general term and is the same as metal. Not all plastics are cheap. Go price some Vespel. Torlon would make a great nut material.

0h yeah I wonder if HMPWE would be a good nut.
The point is as far as I'm aware LTD uses *the same* cheap plastic nut both on the absolute cheapest models and on the models that are really quite expensive. If I'm wrong and they use some really fancy engineered mega-plastic on the expensive guitars then I'd be interested to learn about it.
No one has yet to explain what's wrong with the nut itself, only that it's "cheap". As if anyone knows what the actual cost is vs. anything else wholesale on the scale that ESP would purchase.

E-II and above use bone or graphite nuts.
Why would we want to find out all the things wrong with it when we could just avoid it...
Yeah I'm just talking about the LTDs, some of which are already pretty expensive. It used to be the case that as you went up in price you got better specs. Now I don't really know what you pay for.
That's a cop out. Again, just complaining for the sake of it.

I would not use a plastic nut,
I would not any way they're cut,
I do not want them on my axe,
and do not ask me to relax!
I do not like this plastic nut,
and do not ask me to shut up!

Nah, UHMPWE is a fucking nightmare to work with. Also not really necessary for a nut as it would take forever to shape and it gives a very dull/mellow tone compared to other hard wearing thermoplastics. I love it for picks though.
Kinda yeah. But,
1) I like complaining.
2) I really dislike when brands seem to sneakily cut corners after they've established a name for themselves by making good stuff. I want manufacturers to really care deeply about making kickass stuff. When it seems like they don't I get really disappointed.

Don't expect anything until spring/summer and mostly color/dress refreshes.

I just wish they'd do more with the Mystique shape. It's probably the best PRS knockoff shape ever.
