I believe that my Parker Nitefly has a graphite nut, and I absolutely love that guitar in every way.
Though I don't encourage people to go overboard or "overthink" it, I have personally experienced several "tone upgrades" over the years and I am now a firm believer that each individual should go on a "tone-quest" and try and find a setup that channels their individuality as a player. For me, putting a gibson 335 pickup in my parker/getting into tube amps/getting a few choice, botique pedals/finding the right v-pick have all been crucial tone-upgrades, and each really wasn't THAT expensive. So what I'm saying is....everyone that can, should explore upgrades like a bone-/nut, and more. You never know what LITTLE thing could make a LOT of difference in your playing!! -------------------- Check out my awesome Nintendo Cover-band, EMULATOR!! http://www.reverbnation.com/emulator Now.....go practice!! |

Actually I don't even know what nuts I have on my Gibsons, I never changed them so they are the original ones that Gibson uses, whatever that might be. I also have heard a lot about bone, plastic or graphit nuts, but to be honest I never saw a need to mess with mine, I like the way my guitars sound so I don't see why I should change anything.

Exactly Jones. After all changing a nut is not something like changing a pickup, I can't change the nut myself, I would have to give my guitars to the custom shop, wait... doesn't sound tempting. But I am curious about Cosmins opinion about his new nut.

Hmmm now you made me curious, after all my Gibson Customshop is only 20 minutes away from where I live... but maybe I should find out first what kind of nuts Gibson is uing anyway

Hmmm, never heard about Corian myself - it sounds like a GREAT name for a band though Hehe, true, it doesn't sound bad ^^ If those nuts sound as good we should give them a try -------------------- Guitars: various Gibson Les Pauls / Gibson J 45

I've a really nice japanese Martin D 42 clone, which is my 'beater' acoustic guitar, I had a bone nut and saddle put on it and you could definitely tell the difference.
On electrics I'm not sure I could tell the difference between the material of a decently cut nut, though I'm sure the sustain would be better with bone than plastic. -------------------- My SoundCloud
