I know, another thread on bridge pins, right?
I made a comment on another thread about my experience with Guild guitars seeming to like to original plastic pins over wood or bone and someone posted the following;
"It wasn't the pins, it was the way Guild built those tops, to function better with lighter pins. The pin material doesn't make any real difference, but the weight of the pins may make a difference. Some guitars are more sensitive to minor changes in bridge weight, others not so much."
I hadn't heard that explanation before and wanted to post it here for your reading pleasure and any comments you might have.
