If anything I think they improve tone & sustain real nice. They reduced my string breakage better then 50% too. Thats originaly why I went to them. I know a lot of players that use them & never heard them called dull sounding. With the nuts they are the closest sounding to bone & way easier to work with. No matter what path you take there will be someone that says its the wrong one.

Definitely the truth there. Interestingly, I've never broken a string in my life. Of course, most of my life I was a bass player and you have to try pretty hard to break one of those. I'm mainly interested because they would work as a drop-in replacement on the '51 and so I wouldn't have to deal with the bridge rattling ever again. I'm also having very minor issues on a couple of strings with intonation because the adjustment screw is beginning to dig into the string itself.
