You'd think that the nut would be out of the equation once you fret it, but I'm of the opinion that it still makes a difference. There's still some energy transfered to the neck through the nut. I don't know the science behind it, but I've found I notice it. For the record, I have a bone nut on my Tele. I sent a luthier friend a piece of fossil ivory from Alaska. He made a nut out of it for his Martin. He said it made all the difference in the world on his guitar. It brought out the tone that he hadn't been able to get with other materials.
