GUEST,Backwoodsman (11 Feb) Bigrock Engineering Power Pins (6) RE: Bigrock Engineering Power Pins 21 Feb 15


Another solution to a non-existent problem.

A Pinless bridge (like my Lowden's and, I think, some Takamines) is a far more elegant option for people who object to spending a few seconds installing strings and pins properly, and there's no mass added. Those 'Power Pins' are Fugly, and I can see no benefit from adding all that mass to the bridge - quite the reverse.

But I have no problem with the standard pin bridges on my Martins (other than the cost-saving factory practice of using slotted pins instead of slotting the pin-holes and fitting unslotted pins, a situation which I have remedied on my guitars).

All IMHO, of course..
