They're good but I like bone better. I can't prove that the acoustic tone is superior though. My assessment is purely subjective.

If I were prepping a saddle for an acoustic-electric, I might prefer Tusq for its consistency.

I had a tusq nut and saddle on a guitar I own and when I changed them for bone I swear the sound got better acoustically. The luthier who installed the bone agreed. The guitar's builder put the tusq in originally because as the previous poster mentioned they were more consistent in density and thus better for an under saddle pickup system. As I don't normally use pick ups that is not an issue.
