I recently rescued an Alvarez PD85Sc that had been treated horribly.
It had a couple of broken bridge pins as well as the bracing not being in contact with the top, and a decent sized crack in the top.
I had some mis matched plastic that fit. So they went in.
They weren’t awful. But they did make for some interesting overtones.
I sat down with a file and some Ebony pins.
I worked on them till they fit nicely.
To be fair I also went from D’addario EJ11’s to D’addario NB1252BT.
The change is astounding.
YMMV.
