If ya have, please describe the diff. I've done this using Tusq on my first daughter's Yama SJ-180 and my Tacoma DR-20. I definitely perceived a more 'vivid' sound and extended sustains. Should I consider such an upgrade with my 'O's? Dang it, I posted in the wrong forum... :( scott lamperd Posted 2008-03-05 8:49 PM (#306302 - in reply to #306301) Subject: Re: How many of ya'll ...

I have used tusq on several guitars and have found it very consistant and evenly balanced. If you have acoustic ovations, I would definately recommend replacing the plastic saddles with either material. It will make a big difference in your sound. Scott
