Confused about Tusq bridge pins for Rainsong.

[gerardo1000]

On the introduction page to Tusq pins from the Graphtech web site ("Find your bridge/end pin size") Graphtech says that Traditional style pins are the right ones for Rainsong guitars. BUT, when I click on the detailed info about both kind of pins (Traditional style and Presentation style) it says instead that Presentation style pins are the right ones for Rainsong guitars.... so, which are the right ones? I wrote to Rainsong and I am waiting for an answer. In the meantime, if any body knows, I would appreciate his opinion, thanks!

Do you need to replace them? AFAIK Rainsong guitars already ship with tusq bridge pins.

I could measure the shank diameter at my next string change if someone else doesn't beat me to it.

Rainsong uses standard 3-degree pins like just about every other manufacturer, except for Martin.

Made up names like Presentation vs. Traditional doesn't mean anything to me. They are 3-degree standard pins.

Whichever ones Tusq thinks is correct for Taylor or Larrivee are also the right ones for Rainsong.

I measured the shank diameter of my Rainsong's bridge pins. It is 4.93 mm. So that would be what Graphtech calls the presentation style.

Graphtech also seems to have corrected this on their introduction page. I guess they are reading this forum.
