The nut was supposed to be "cryogenically" treated so it lasted longer. No signs of wear on mine despite the number of times I have to tune it!

The tech at my local Guitar Center was told by a Gibson rep that the "early" brass nuts were either not cryogenically treated...or not properly treated. This could account for the reason why many users of the brass nut don't have any issues with it and others have constant issues.
