I am surprised how well this plastic nut is made, its tempting to retain it. I have woolly mammoth tusk here and cow bone, i think i might make me a bone nut, the wooly mammoth can wait for the Ancient Kauri bodies i am yet to do.
The thing with a nut is, once you fret the guitar, the nut is out of the equation, but a well made nut also means less chance of cracking and breaking it.
Tend to agree. I remember 30 odd years ago brass nuts and brass/bone combos were all the rage and for the most part they helped make open notes sound brighter which is not always the sound you are after. Whilst plastic ones seem to be frowned upon, if they don't buzz, not too high, see how it goes for a while before spending the extra time, effort and money on a bone replacement.Originally Posted by tonyw
