Topic: Nut
What does changing the stock plastic nut to something like bone or graphite do to the sound of your guitar? Playability? Sustain? Anything else?

Re: Nut
Better sustain.
Less buzzing.
Better tone.
More stable tuning.
It can also lower the action of the guitar if it's cut/shaved right.

If you're gonna cut it down, get two (experience talking here 
). Cutting it too low can ADD buzz... but getting it just right will increase the playability of your axe!
Don’t let short-term frustration make you feel that your life exists in just this volatile moment.
