I can chime in here on this..cuz I just got 3 of my Tele's back from having there nuts replaced with a Bone nut.
$50.US a pop for each Axe..Yes..I noticed a difference right away. I won't go as far to say the big difference is because it is now bone...but I will say this...The nuts are now cut precise and sounds fully tuned in the lower register for the open chords.
A guitar is an instrument of precision...it should be if it is crafted correctly. A nut is no less important in the whole sum of the sound in terms of pitch and tuning. Yes, you may be fretting notes higher up that the nut has no value to..but think how fast your fingers are fretting and pulling off leaving notes to ring open which the nut does effect... a nut not cut very precise, will leave those notes ringing with a pinch sound or even a bit of wobble..which sounds sloppy to my ears.
After playing in a live setting yesterday with 4 other muscians and having are gig rigs somewhat cranked up...My axe sounded like it hasn't before..TIGHT..just being honest.
I would recomend to any one who is serious about playing and who appreciates a good sound..perhaps even to the point of being anal..like I am...to have their axes handed over right away to a nut specialist and have it cut correctly, before I would make any other mods.
