rwfelton Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 i recently ordered one of these and i am waiting for it to arrive. i am curious... is a "pinned" bridge one that is not mounted to the body? does it just rests on top and the pressure from the strings keeps it in place?
vomer Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 That would be 'unpinned' if it was just floating. 'Pinned' implies some form of pin or screw, unseen, underneath the bridge, between it and the body. There are different ways of doing this, I don't know what this epi uses.
kidblast Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 as Vomer says, just a way to keep the bridge from moving around while playing. I think the Bigsby added to the equation offers a bit more of a reason to pin the bridge. have fun with the Swingster. I love my white Royale.
