A bone nut and/or saddle can be one of the most cost effective upgrades you can make to your guitar. The tonal difference compared to the factory-installed plastic or Tusq nut/ saddle found in many acoustic guitars is quite noticeable. Intermediate to advanced guitarists will typically hear the difference immediately. Bone nuts and saddles almost always will sound better than the inexpensive plastic saddles that are used in less expensive guitars.

​

Compared to Tusq saddles, bone does not necessarily produce a better tone, but does produce a different one. Generally speaking, bone produces a warmer and fuller tone, whereas Tusq produces a brighter and cleaner tone. It depends on the individual player and specific guitar as to which saddle material is preferred.

Right Action crafts their nuts and saddles from high quality cow bone (bleached or unbleached) or buffalo horn upon request.
