Mammoth Nut and Saddle Blanks: Good Vibrations
We were pleasantly surprised to see fossilized mammoth nut and saddle blanks among WD's New Arrivals on their website. Many well sounding vintage guitars used to be equipped with mammoth. I ordered a couple of each right away, and tried one straight upon arrival. And I don't regret it!
What a difference in sound such a small part can make. Very rich and full – big open lows and clear bell-like highs. WD's mammoth noticeably transfers vibrations more efficiently to an acoustic guitar's top than other nut materials do. Soft materials absorb string vibrations, while a hard and dense material like mammoth does not. And it wears quite well, too.
These mammoth blanks are excellent for repairs, restorations or upgrading the finest (old) instruments. Although costly, it is well worth the investment.
Hats off to these friendly Florida-based boys and girls for their always innovative, and unique products. And a big "thank you" for their great service and fast shipping.
