Hungrycat Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Does Epi make an acoustic with a pinless bridge like is on an Ovation? I'd like to get an acoustic, but bridge pins annoy the hell out of me. I don't know why, they just do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnl Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I don't think they do currently, but back in the 60's some Gibson and Epi twelve strings had pinless bridges. Here's an Epiphone Bard with one (pic from eBay): I don't know if they were ever offered on 6-strings, but in the mid sixties you could get a 12-string with either a pinless bridge, a pinned bridge, or a trapeze tailpiece. Opinions vary about which was best... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNFrank Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I don't see why you couldn't have a good Luither install a pinless bridge on the guitar of your choice. Breedlove also makes a pinless bridge, I really like the idea too. Less parts to mess with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawwap Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I have a Breedlove with a pinless bridge. I really like the guitar, but I am not a big fan of the pinless bridge. String changing is challenging. I also prefre the look of the more traditional pinned brigde. I was going to buy an Epi EJ200CE, but ended up spending a bit more on the Breedlove due primarily to the quality of the pickup sound. The built in Baggs pickup in the Breedlove C25 is fantastic. While I am a very pleased Epi electric owner (Sheraton Elitist) I have not regretted the Breedlove purchase at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
