I dont know about warmth, but my seagull came installed with a tusq nut, and its great! What ever you pick, you should have a luthier do it, unless youre a luthier youself! :)]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Ok , I have two questions. I have a washburn acoustic # d-120 and I've heard that if I change the nut &amp; saddle to bone or tusque it will improve the sound quality.<br>First question, Which will give it a warmer sound? Bone or Tusque?<br>Second question, Is it difficult to replace these items or should I have a pro do it?<br>            Thanks,<br>                       Spirit]]></content:encoded>
