what's the deal with that nut? is it some sort of compensated thing for intonation purposes?

Yes it’s a compensated graphite nut.

Schecter sells certain models now with the 'Ernie Ball compensated nut'. There was a legal battle a few years ago, EB vs. Earvana, and EB won.

is there a theoretical or practical reason why compensating at the nut is better than compensating at the bridge (or I assume you have a bit of both with this)

The bridge works for the middle and lower frets, but there are some issues, especially with the G string, in the upper frets that a compensated nut addresses...

Wow, that is a fine slab of wood right there.

I have no idea. That’s above my pay grade. Here’s the bridge.

It arrived with some weird swirl mark/water spot stuff on it like it was cleaned up with some kind of cheap stuff. It was hard to get a pic. Here she is all cleaned up.

Nice! Plug that thing straight away into the Orange (after it warms up/acclimates) and let it rip!

I bet she plays real sweet, too, based on the couple of other EBMM's I've noodled on.
