Many years ago I found a deserted piano in a dump with Ivory keys on it, many of which were falling off of the piano- i collected about half of them ( early 1970's) and laminated a few of them and made a saddle or two -they did sound nice- laminating them probably didnt give them the same effect as a solid piece of Ivory - but al least they were free and put to a good use -Im a bigger fan thou of Bone .
I believe alot of people just want something on their guitars that they cant have , thats either illegal, rare etc. Im not a believer that Brazilian Rosewood makes the best sounding guitar - nor does the tusk of any particular animal - I have 4 BR guitars plus one in parts , so i can say this first hand ,Any guitar not skillfully made wastes exspensive rare materials that dont make a guitar better .
