  1. I went with Colossi pins, saddle and nut when customizing my SJ200, all in fossilized walrus ivory, and I think those additions are partly responsible for the depth of tone and rich full sound I get from it now, as opposed to how it sounded out-of-the-box. Amplified, it sounds amazing. I am also partial to the D'Addario EJ14 Bluegrass strings with lights on the top and mids on the bottom (.012-.056) for the nice bass tones that really compliment the bright highs for a very full sound barefoot. Replacing plastic with bone or another porous material is a must for my guitars. I have experimented here and there, and decided on the fossilized walrus ivory as being the best, IMO. Gives me more sustain as well as a solid feel when I fingerpick. Does that make sense? For me, it just gives my instrument an added oompf and there is a noticeable difference in the overall feel and sound. I find it ridiculous that a manufacturer of any fine guitar will sell it for over 3k with plastic touching the strings. Unacceptable, in my book. For those contemplating change, check out the fossilized walrus ivory instead of bone. Just my two cents:)
