I only use solid platinum bridge pins. In fact any choice of my most priceless antique luthier guitars, or tone, is completely irrelevent.. ..as long as I can be seen to be using better accessories than anyone else. I also had all my ebony fingerboards stripped out and replaced with extremely expensive compressed fossilised ancient treewood. The famously obscure and secretive craftsman who patented this high cost upgrade, calls this rare fingerboard material Compressed Old Ancient Luthierite.. I'm sure it does improve the tone impressively, but a black residue rubs off on my fingers and hand made silk clothes.. so I dont actually play any of my guitars.. I'm happily content to look at, contemplate, and admire them; and calculate their increasing investment value.
