Bone Nuts
Good bone nuts and saddles are my favorite and my standard. In my experience, nothing compares with the consistency and tone of good, solid bone.

Ebony Bridges with Bone Saddles
Ebony is a heavy wood with a very smooth interlocking of the grains. It tends to crack about as seldom as is possible for wood, and doesn't do anything bad to the tone of a steel string guitar. The look is killer clean. I use a bone saddle for its tonal capabilities coupled with good wearability. The ebony pins lend a secure coupling of the strings to the bridge system. Other bridge materials are available by request.

Smooth Cutaway
It's a small thing (that takes a bunch of time) but all Wingert guitars have a cutaway that blends into the neck without a shelf because I like the tactile experience.

2mm Side Dots
I use 2mm abalone side dots, but other options are availble if needed. 2mm side dots looks best and cleanest, but your guitar needs to be functional for you. Other options include metals, other shell, glow in the dark.

Neck Details
When you order a Wingert guitar, you pick the neck size and shape. It should fit you and your hand. Those veneer lines are one of the secrets to a rigid neck which is very unlikely to twist or warp, even over decades.

Comfortable Edges
Even if you decide against a really cool bevel of one kind or another, attention to details helps each Wingert guitar be as comfortable as possible. The binding edges are carefully rounded for comfort as are the ends of the frets, the edges of the fingerboard, the ends of the saddle and the corners of the nuts. I will proudly put my fret and playabiity standards up against anyone.
