So today I've been trying different bridge pin materials in this 2024 D-18. Tried:

Plastic
Bone
Ebony
FMI
Water Buffalo Horn
Liquid Metal
Antique Acoustics

One set ticked all the boxes: AA. They're period correct styling, the lightest in the test, they look great and, as if that's not enough, they seemed to give this guitar a slightly different voice, subtly changing the highs and bass in a way I really like.
