I think that when people hear a huge difference when they upgrade their plastic saddle and nut on a cheapo acoustic they it is partly because they are probably getting an upgrade in shape / fit.

That is, a really well cut plastic nut or saddle sounds fine. A cheap ass guitar might have a nut that is cut like crap, not helping things tone wise.

Now if I was going to choose, I'd go bone or brass over plastic, but that's 50% durability and 50% supposed tone in my reasoning.

I really don't even know what we're talking about here. I'm sure it's fun for you though.

How long before the thread is split?

Yes, I believe this thread should be split and moved to the Pub.

It should be call "St. Jimmy thinks 3D's a douchebag. 3D doesn't know who St. Jimmy is!"

I see his post count is high or whatever, but I've never had a single conversation with the dude. I guess he's got some sort of man-crush on me, though....

About Aug knowing him..... Well, that's not exactly fair. Aug knew everyone. Aug's met most of the guys that have been on shortscale or jag-stang that are in SoCal. No one spent more time on here then Aug. (except for maybe Shawdow or mike). I've only spent a fraction of the time that he spent on here.

belive or not

it´s just 3 bucks piece , more consistent than plastic
Cmon guys don´t fight on 3 bucks mod! ffs ... it´s too insane


if was an bridge debate or tunner debate ... yes it´s make more sense
but fighting about nut ? that´s just insane

is stick graphtech at tremolo´s guitar and bone on any other
and i hear differences it´s sounds clean than plastic

plastic price is 2 bucks bone is 3.5 , cmon...
