I think I would not worry too much over it unless the Squire is using cheap plastic. As long as it's somewhat hard material, it probably won't make a ton of difference.

If it's just a matter of "I put the best, most traditional material into my modifications" there's nothing wrong with bone if you want it, and of course it's not usually an expensive mod--just don't expect it necessarily transform the sound.

I'm thinking the same. Once you're into bone/micarta/tusq, etc. I think proper cut is much more important. You can add graphite, etc. to get any of these to "slide" thru properly.

When playing fretted notes the nut material is in indirect contact with the vibrating string but nonetheless makes a small contribution to overall sound and dynamics. With open strings the difference is more significant. If I play celtic reels or jigs on my 1978 Ibanez MC400 NT Musician with a DADGAD tuning , there is a lot of sustain because of the nut which is half brass and half bone. Up the neck the difference is less perceptible.
