I have an all-mahogany bodied F4ce, which, in spite of being strung with Elixirs, sounded somewhat "dead".
I've previously had two acoustics fitted with Fossilised Walrus Ivory nut/saddle/pins with a very satisfactoty, albeit expensive, result.
I really didn't want to go to all that expense again, so thought I'd give Tusk a shot. I've fitted the pins and will have the nut/saddle fitted when the weather improves sufficiently to get to my guitar-fixit man.
I am very impressed at the improvement in volume for such a small investment, although I doubt that the pins have made any difference regarding tone/sustain - which, after all, is not what I was after anyway.
The only down side, is the god-awful colour of these things ! A definite grey-ish colour which looks a bit strange.
As an aside, I've read praise for ebony bridge pins. Surely wooden pins would dull volume ?
