Saddle will make a big difference.  Bone, Micarta, Tusq, Ivory all sound good.  Huge improvement in sound over plastic.

Nut will only make a difference on open chords.

Bridge pins, although some people claim to hear a diffence, I can't.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Nick Torres https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/saddle-nut-bridge-pin/#post-51745 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/saddle-nut-bridge-pin/#post-793 Mon, 02 Feb 2004 21:15:03 +0000
I have  a Takamine that I got used from a friend. I have heard that upgrading the nut and saddle will improve the tone. They are plastic now, and I am considering getting bone installed. Has anyone done this, and how did it affect your sound? I have also heard that getting different (i.e. wood) bridge pins can also make a difference.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
