Let's say your bridgepin hits me in the eye, bounces to the other eye, and as a result I am permanently blinded. I have absolutely no recourse but I do not have to give your pin back. But, if you hit someone with a support group, even lightly, say goodbye to all worldly possessions for as long as you live. The guitar would probably have to be given up on the spot. I was in Canada, in Quebec City, last summer, and had a great time.Chet W.
