   Maybe.   The musical quality of the note will be no better than the wire.  
 A bad V-bar shape, or a loose bridge pin MAY cause the note to have unwanted 
or missing partials, but not always.   However, A bad piece of wire will not 
sound good, regardless of the rest of the system.   
     Or to say it otherways,   I would rather have a good piece of wire on a 
poor notch than a poor piece of wire on a good one.   
Hope that helps, some,
