New bridge pins - material
I have wasted a lot of time trying to determine the correct size bridge pins for my CA OX "Slick" but I have to move on. The OX is around 10 years old and now I know some changes have been made.
I will buy the largest commonly available pins and sand them as necessary for each pin hole. I don't wish to start an argument here BUT what is the concensus on the bridge pin "material" for a carbor fiber guitar??? The saddle appears to be a synthetic material as well as the bridge and I think they are original. The pin holes had been enlarged and the original pins were replaced. Also a KnK pickup was installed. Note! I prefer a bassey sound and not the highs. I wear hearing aids so, no doubt, my preferences are distorted. |

The pins in my Emeralds are as light as light as a feather and are some kind of very hard thermoplastic (?)made by “Graphtec” .
Nice looking , black with pau shell inlay. I have read that light “plastic” pins give the best bass response, through to heavy brass pins giving the least. Hence the use of plastic pins as original on many top shelf Martins. |
