Compare Bridge pins : How to make guitar sound better.
Many Guitar players discussed effect of changing bridge pins.
Somebody says nothing changed and the others says nuances changed.
So I am going to report my feelings on every kind of bridge pins I used.
I used to change bridge pins often because I believe it could make differences.
Somebody believes bridge pins changed on every strings to same kind, but I says you can choose selectively on each strings.
