[Strumming Fool]

Just thought you'd like to know that there is another side to this discussion. The main point here is that it is mostly subjective. While the accepted theory is that bridge pins cannot make as much of difference in tone as the saddle, I have found that they can, based upon their composition, the saddle used and the guitar itself. Some of my guitars have bone saddles and some have Tusq saddles, because one sounds better than the other on each guitar. In a couple of past instances, the installation of a bone saddle made absolutely no difference. However, ALL my guitars now have buffalo horn bridge pins, because I've found that these particular pins (yes, I've tried the others) have added an audible presence and brilliance to each of my guitars. YMMV....
