Brass nut

Posted by mathew davies on September 4, 2014 at 4:55pm in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion

Hey guys and girls, looking for a bit of insight here really, I have an acoustic and electro acoustic both with plastic nuts, they both sound crisp and clear as they are but was wondering how much difference a brass nut would make to the resonance. If anyone has any thoughts on this please drop me a line.

    Cheers guys, thanks for the replies. I'll probably try it when I change the strings, can always change it later on if I don't like it. Any thoughts on weather a change in saddle material would make a difference?

    brass and  bone are  yummy  ..  but  if  it ain't broke  why    fix it  ?  ;-)
