Thanks.
I put a bone nut, saddle and ebony pins in a D-16 RGT - the rosewood back and sides - made the sound more woody with a deeper bass.

Also the best strings I found are the Martin SP acoustic bronze mediums.

The nut and saddle were done separate from the bridge pins over a period of 10 days and the same strings were used for comparison purposes.

Each step altered the sound toward a deeper bass and bell like trebles.

Just changing the saddle and bridge pins is a relative inexpensive trial and then try the different strings - you'll find that combination that just sings to you and not have too much money tied up in the process.
