Having guitar with both pinless and pinned bridge designs, neither one is better than the other in terms of sound. Taylor guitars have already claimed that though their pinless bridge guitars are just as good as their traditional pinned bridge guitars, making all their guitars with the pinned bridge is just more cost-effective for them in the long run. Speaking of "traditional"...and most acoustic guitar players are, any "changes" (i.e. pinless bridges, etc.) that's done to what a "standard" acoustic guitar should look like, is well...almost sacreligious.
