I agree, I was surprised how these hated saddles actually do perform well.

I wasn't aware anyone hated the nylon saddles. The two point bridge, yes, but not the saddles.

Guilt by association.  I suppose if you hooked up a 3 point with nylon saddles and one with metal saddles up to some spectrum analyzer you would be able to display the difference in sound.  I suspect it has some tendency to eat sustain a bit, but I also suspect if you made saddles out of the stuff they make BMX bike wheels out of it would sound fine.  I like synthetic substances.

My Ibanez Thunderbird ho has a two point bridge (which works fine with the included tail piece). It also has nylon saddles and is one of my best sounding 'birds. It records better than most of my 70's birds. I have no problem with nylon saddles. :)

If my experience with the EB-0L is typical (2 point, nylon saddles), there's certainly no shortage of sustain.
