Did you replace your saddle on your guitar or keep the original Tsuq?

[Earl]

I always buy my guitars because I like the tone as they come.  The only time I've ever switched from the factory saddle or nut or bridge pins was when they were too worn, a pickup was added, or damaged by some ham-handed person doing a set-up (sometimes that was me early on).  I don't recall hearing much difference with other materials, but I get that others hear it.  Whatever floats your boat.....

I have replaced Tusq with Tusq on several occasions, and I have made bone compensated saddles too.  I have only replaced bridge pins for purely cosmetic reasons.

I've always kept whatever saddle and nut my guitar came with...some with tusq and some with bone.  I liked the way the guitars sounded when I bought them and figured there wasn't any need to change things.

Same here.

Yup Me too.

I've considered swapping the nut/saddle on my 612 with bone or fwi, but in the end went the same direction as flaggerphil.  I am curious as to how discernible the difference in tone, responsiveness, etc... would be though.

Me too - That just about describes it.
