Best Nut for Strat?

[mirrorboy]

Any views out there?

I can have camel or buffalo bone, Graphtec Tusq or Trem-Nut. I can make from a blank, but it's such a lot of work I'd like to hear any opinions on the various materials available.

Thanks

Now what in the world would be the perceivable difference between camel and buffalo bone :roll:

Bone would be my choice.

I prefer bone; these guys have done bone nuts for two of my Strats

I am a bone nut fan myself but for something like a Strat with a trem (if you use that a lot), I would go for a Graph Tech self lubricating Black TUSQ XL Nut. :wink:

I like bone as well and just use a graphite pencil to lube it and all is sweet..... :wink:

Thanks a lot guys, I ordered a bone nut. I was deepening the slots in the old Squier and the G string slot broke through into the void of the cheapass hollow plastic nut

Aussie humour eh? Maybe one day it will be invented. :wink: :lol:

What's the difference between plastic & bone? (and don't say plastic is man-made Mick!). Fender always used plastic, didn't they?
