Hey guys. I have access to a cheap bone nut, and Iquot;m wondering what the advantages are of bone over plastic. What do bone nuts sound like? How do they affect string life? How would they sound/function in an SG? THanks.

Bone is more dense so you'll have more vibrational transfer.It will also be more secure against the string vibration from wear.
It'll still wear,but slower and more evenly,(= easier to fix).
Bone is always better than plastic,that's why it's one of the choices of high end gear.

Oh, Kingston! You're close. I'm down by Niagara Falls, but have a bunch of friends going to school up in Kingston. rockin'. Anyway, thanks for the advice. I love guitars with lots of life and resonance to them, so I'm gonna go with the bone nut.
