MorrisrownSal Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I use those Antique Acoustic pins in my Martin D15… and have for years (Buck from UMGF first told me about them). The guitars as dark enough as is without ebony pins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a heretic for many years on many things, so if it gets the sounds I want I don't mind being one again! Good question. Hard to know because I switched to solid antique acoustic pins at the same time. The string ball ends do make better contact with the bridge plate this way. I do know, for certain, long term, a slotted bridge with solid pins is more structurally solid and more protective against bridge plate wear over time. That, plus I’ll take any possible sonic benefit possible, how big or little. I slot every guitar I get, if it isn’t already. Much superior setup, IMO and that of just about every vintage guitar expert out there. 2 cents! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
