Hand Carved Bone Nuts & Saddles
Our bone work is immaculate! Whether it is a hand carved bone nut or hand carved bone saddle or full bone, this upgrade to your guitar, makes a world of difference! Luthier / guitar building schools have attempted to recruit Master Luthier Barrett to teach their bone carving classes in the past to their students. His bone work is the best around and speaks for itself. Fortunately our craft and techniques stay within our shop and to our students.
Most manufacturers place a pre-slotted corian (fancy word for counter top material) or plastic nut in your guitar. It is cheaper to use a one size fits all, drop in nut. Just upgrading this one important piece makes a significant difference in the sound your guitar produces. We start from a blank of bleached cow bone. Or you can get even fancier & opt for buffalo, mammoth, or horn material. Horn is a great option for when you want a unique black nut. We hand carve each & every one specifically for your instrument. Since bone is very hazardous, (RIP Mike Marshall, he once beat sinus cancer), we have a special "bone room" in the shop where the carving takes place. Our "bone room" has a high tech filtration system & our guys must wear respirator masks to protect themselves when carving the bone. It is a special craft and takes practice to master a perfectly crafted bone nut. Our techs have mastered our techniques & we take pride on the bone work we produce for your guitar. It truly is a handcrafted piece of artwork when we are finished with that one piece.
Watch below to see a real upgrade from plastic nut & saddle to a SEGR Hand Carved Guitar Bone Nut & Bone Saddle. If you want to get the full potential from your guitar, bone is a must.
