use bone or tusq. i just replaced the saddle on my guitar with tusq + brass bridge pins. nag improve yung resonance nung guitar. sounds a bit brighter too

go for bone. saddle and nut.

it will take string vibrations better and will let it travel easier to the whole guitar. plastic is meh.

as for bridge pins, minimal lang ang effect niyan. all my acoustics' bridge pins are tusq, just for durability versus plastic ones.

sa tunog, maybe the bone will enhance your guitars frequencies. so kung ma-treble ang guitar mo, ma-eenchance yun ng bone.  not sure tho because i didn't give it any mind. ang mas malaking difference na mapapansin mo will be the sustain of your acoustic.

tone is in the bone.  :-D

If you're talking about the saddle and undersaddle transducer pickups, definitely yes. May significant difference.

ano ba current acoustic mo bro and what pickup does it have? 

sometimes there are undersaddle transducers (piezo pickups) that are sort of integrated with the saddle. so isang buo siya. kung ganun, hindi mo pwede basta basta palitan yung saddle mo.
