If there's no quiet, there can be no loud.

I recently put one in a cheap strat-knock-off neck, just to make sure I could install it properly myself.before I installed one on a good neck.
If you are going to use a tremolo with it , you should have someone, that works with metal, file the grooves in the nut a little wider so your strings don't hang up.
I did this and I use some graphite powder in it and it works really good.
It sounds killer when you snap those high b & e strings open.
BUT, I fought HARD with the local guitar guru that usually sets up my guitars.
I finally gave up and did it myself, he kept trying to talk me out of it and swore bone was 10 times better.
I'm in the middle of building a real nice guitar - and I love it too- so it's getting a brass nut or maybe a wilkinson or LSR roller nut!
but once you hear Eddie did it ...... ya just gotta try it...I guess
