And any different material used for saddles or the nut will produce a differing result in tone, so now its just up too personal preference, as far as nuts go i prefer bone and saddles i prefer brass......different strokes for different folks...

It's easy for us native English speakers to forget sometimes that so many people on here speak a different language as their first language, because so many of you speak English so well. But if you put your location in your profile, it can act as a reminder if there is any confusion.
Besides, I find it interesting to know where the different people on here actually live, & I'm sure I'm not the only one.
