The cloak of A- hole in disguise is faltering .
Short story time !!! Father around kiddies !
Ok so I post New pins on my RO-328 the Recording king I just got .
I just typed RO-328 Thinking that those who seen my NGD post would recognize what I mean but also it’s not about what guitar well maybe to some .
I said I also said I put new strings on Martin monel but oops like now I spelled it wrong . Lol
besides that I get into with this is adamant that the effect that I claim they have on the guitar is and I quote There’s that bugaboo confirmation bias !
Errr what ? Ok so I look it up , ugh really !
So I ask are you thinking that’s what I’m doing ? He says yes , people buy with their eyes thinking it effects tone !
he’s do a double blind test and he said Gryphon string instruments did the test so it all phooey.
Now I well understand the battle just anything you have believers and then you none believers .
I tried looking for the test but couldn’t find it maybe one of could I would like to read it .
now I found the topic on pins at AGF and most think it doesn’t change or so it’s very little . they do believe the nut and saddle will have an effect . Ok fine.
Now in this tread there’s a few links to tests on pins the only and best of the links I’ll post but all he did was change pins out starting with Horn , plastic brass , ebony and rosewood .
now maybe I’m nuts and maybe the guy is right and I don’t know anything about what I’m talking about . I am so sorry to anyone I offended.
now I jammed in the ear buds there not the best but not bad and I listen . Guess what I guess I should never mention my experiences again !!!! Ever !!!
because I heard a difference with each one !!!!!!! and in this reality it’s impossible for such a thing to happen .
Now you folks no I’m anal about tone and other things acoustic guitar . What in world would I have to gain by lying ? Which is something I won’t do anyway .
I think in my recording king post I mentioned the how the sustain and overtones were at the time .
no I did put new strings on at the same time I fitted the new pins .
old string were , I’m not sure most likely D’Adderio 80/20 the strings were not old so they are not the determining factor of its tone at the moment.
do I put on Monals 12’s now there supposed to offer a mellow tone right ?
The original pins are plastic and I have to say very nice plastic pins which is kind of a first most I seen look like they went through a blender .
ok let’s cut to chase , once every thing was done and tuned I was blown away .
Not only has the overtones filled out but the sustain and everything else just came to life ! Like night and day .
now why would I make this up ? Ok she’s got new strings but honestly I use the Monals a lot they never had this type of effect on a guitar I had ever ! and usually the strings and pins always go together so I’m at a loss .
over all I know what I hear , I have no reason to lie about it . I personally don’t care about others liking me or not .
So no head bloating here . I share my experiences so maybe it will help someone else down the road .
I’ll never share my opinion of .. say these pins to anyone in a way that means my pins are better or the best you can get and if you don’t agree your screwed up . Lol that’s my area so stay out !
anyway last thing I’m going to say about it’s improve which may not be a improvement is the overtones and sustain at the moment sound like over kill . I never thought I say it’s to much but it may just be the case . LOL A definite first .
we see what happens in a few days
My pin pic FWI and that vid I mentioned maybe you folks can hear or hear a difference?
