You heard a nut and bridge saddle made from bone is best.?
Bone and synthetic bone (Graph Tech's Tusq is an example of a man-made bone-replica) are good for transferring the sound of your strings. Cheap plastics won't contribute much at all in comparison. On the whole, synthetic bone helps the tone sound a little brighter than the warmer bone.
It's also more resilient so will need replacing less frequently.
Some acoustic guitar have the neck joining the body at a different fret—either the 12th or the 14th. Does it really matter?
Yes, it does. Most acoustics you'll come across will be the 14-fret join variety and 12-fret acoustics tend to be smaller-bodied guitars.
The difference is about more than just how far down the dusty end of the neck you want to play The point where the neck heel is joined to the guitar's body differs between them, and as a result this affects how rigid the neck is as well the position of the bridge on the soundboard. These are two factors, among all the others, that affect the tone you can from an acoustic.
Which leads us to a final point we can't stress enough: with all these variables you need to get your paws on as many acoustics as possible and get a feel for them.
Take a guitar-playing friend to the music shop with you and play the guitars together for a live appreciation of their differences. Sooner or later, you'll find your steel-strungsoulmate
