Title: Tweaking questions
Post by: Bradock PI on March 17, 2009, 09:25:53 PM

Tusq vs Bone nut to replace plastic worthwhile and which?

Is an upgrade from a mid level korean tune-o-matic bridge worthwhile or a waste of money on a guitar like the Daisy Rock - Rock Candy Classic - which would you go for?

What about changin saddles?

I am guessing headgear only worth changin' if it's not holding tunes?

What are your top tweaks?

I had a bone nut fitted to my Strat after it had a refret. There's no difference in tone, but theres was a big difference in tuning stability. It's held it's tuning much better since then. I would like the Earvana nut installed as I hear it helps with intonation

I'd go with Tusq, just because it's completely uniform and easy to work with.

It should improve both tuning (as long as cut right, but they sell pre-cut ones) and tone in the open positions.

As for the bridge, the answer is yes, an upgrade may make a subtle improvement.  I treally depends on whether you want to spend the money :D
