the string guide regardless of material it is made with shouldn't have any effect on the sound. The strings rest on the metal zero fret.

Danny,
Understood, but I am actually still questioning the actual 'string travel.' I think that although the initial attack of the string traveles to the Zero Fret,
I believe the length of the string signal might actually get 'choked' when it possibly reaches the String Guide, or a different type of material (wood, plastic, bone,
or more Brass or Metal,etc)....My '88 has a Brass String Guide (which is supposed to give you more sustain), and it BLOWS my other Mo's totally
out of the water!
