Best Dreadnought Guitars With Synthetic Bone Saddle in 2023
Here are the top Dreadnought style guitars with Synthetic Bone saddle. One of the best nuts you can have is a Bone nut thanks to their rich tonality and resistance. The problem is that they're a natural material, so different bone nuts will have inconsistent tonal properties. In other words, one bone nut might not sound as well as the other even when they're made from the same piece. Synthetic bone helps with this by giving you a high-quality, consistent nut that resembles the tone produced by bone.
