New nut and Bridge
Ok got some new TI 154st strings and will be installing them. I am fairly certain I will need to set it up though these are smaller lower tension strings then I have on it. I do not want to fill my nut so I will need to make a new one and I do not want to mess with the current bridge saddle it is Brazillian Rosewood and I love it and will keep it in case I ever want to go back to the original strings. My concern is tone. I have a bone nut blank I can cut down to size but I do not have any reclaimed Brazillian Rosewood. I have maple, cherry, a small piece of ebony may be hidden in a box somewhere. What will be my best bet for a new saddle wood is any of what I have or could easily obtain close to the same tone as the Rosewood? Thanks!
Oh, I will continue to use the Rosewood base and for simple contrast was leaning towards some flamed maple.
Thanks Again!
