Hes the only game in town when it comes to anything to do with frets

Anyhow, on his website, he says that he will also replace the nut with a graph tech nut (I can only ***/u/me that it will be a tusq nut???) for 50 bucks although I hoping he'll do a package deal since the fret job is 150 bucks.

Now on to my question, Did a Graph Tech nut make a noticeable difference with regards to sound and sustain on your guitar and would you recommend it?
Not to quibble, but Mr. Lashbrook is NOT the only game in town in regards to fretwork. I have been a luthier since 1988 and have done hundreds of fretjobs during that time. Aside from building Brian May copies, and my own unique designs, I specialize in complete restoration work; be it 100 year old parlor acoustics, busted headstocks, to vintage strats, etc. I have yet to receive a dissatisfied refret customer. If you are in the South Florida area, give me a call to schedule an appointment to come by my shop and play one of my custom crafted instruments and experience my fretwork yourself. By the way, all my refrets include my 4 point setup which includes adjusting the truss rod, action, bridge radius, and intervallic intonation adjustment system(similar to the Buzz Feiten tuning system, without the huge Buzz Feiten price tag.
